Does anyone know how problematic a "bad" SNP in the VDR Taq gene is? (VDR=vitamin D receptor)

I am VDR Taq positive and from what I gathered as long as you check your vitamin D levels from time to time and supplement accordingly it shouldn't be an issue. Also there are co-factors for sulfation of vitamin D like zinc, B6, DAO, lysine so you need to check those too. It becomes more complex when, like me, you also have mutations that makes B6 and zinc less abundant.
