This report reads your DNA and sorts every result into one of five plain-language groups, so you can see at a glance what deserves attention and what does not. Nothing here is a diagnosis. A flagged result means your genetics place you above or below the average person for that trait — a reason to ask a question, not a reason to worry.
Eye Health — Maintaining healthy vision is vital for overall well-being and quality of life. Genetics play a significant role in determining your susceptibility to various eye health problems, including common vision issues like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. In addition to these, certain genetic
These are ordered by how closely they relate to your flagged results — not generic health advice. Marrow does not prescribe, dose, or tell you to take anything. Diet and lifestyle changes are listed first because they are yours to make. Anything you would swallow is listed separately, by name only, as something to raise with a clinician who knows your history and your medications.
TA hand on your chest and the other on your belly.
Ensure you allocate enough time in your schedule to achieve a minimum of 7 hours of sleep each night.
These came up in the research behind your flagged results. They are listed by name so you can ask about them. Marrow is not recommending them, and gives no dose. Supplements interact with prescription medication and with each other — that conversation belongs with your clinician.
Of the 22 results in this package, these 5 came back furthest from the population average. Each one below explains what it is, where you sit, and which report it came from. Start here.

Retinal Vein Treatment for underlying risk from the blockage. injections of vision, laser reduce inflammation.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
The management of uveitis involves addressing both the inflammation and the underlying cause if identified.
Typical treatments include corticosteroids to reduce the inflammation and drugs that manage the immune system's response.
Careful monitoring by an ophthalmologist is critical to prevent complications such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular edema, all of which could lead to loss of vision.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
Other risk factors include internal eye pressure, age, race, eye injury, and high corticosteroid use.
About 3 million Americans have glaucoma, and about 2.5% of the world's population.
Symptoms include loss of peripheral or central vision, headache, eye pain, halos, eye redness, and nausea.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
Key Takeaways: About 25-60% of differences in people's chances of having cataracts may be due to genetics.
Risk factors: age, diabetes, smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, excessive sunlight exposure, and eye injury.
About 96 million people in the world are blind, and just over half of those are due to cataracts.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
Not everything in a genetic report is a warning. These came back protective or better than average.
Management of allergic eye disease often involves a combination of treatments and preventive measures.
If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider to ensure appropriate management and avoid complications.
Identifying and minimizing exposure to the allergens that trigger symptoms is the most important preventive measure.
The causes of iritis are varied and can include infectious diseases, such as syphilis or herpes zoster, as well as non-infectious systemic inflammatory conditions like ankylosing spondylitis, sarcoidosis, or inflammatory bowel disease.
Treatment for iritis is targeted at reducing the inflammation and managing any underlying cause that can be identified.
This often involves the use of corticosteroid eye drops to control inflammation and other medication to dilate the pupil and relieve pain.

Genetics is a predisposition, not a verdict. The single most useful thing you can do with this document is take it to a clinician and talk through the flagged findings — especially any that line up with symptoms you already have or conditions that run in your family. Nothing here changes: your DNA is the same at 60 as it is today, so this report does not expire.
Genotyping was performed on DNA extracted from a buccal (cheek) swab using a genome-wide array. Results are derived from peer-reviewed genome-wide association data and, where applicable, published clinical guidelines. Each report was scored independently against its own reference set. Percentile figures describe where your result sits relative to a reference population.
This is a laboratory-developed test. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Genotyping does not detect all variants in the genes assessed; the absence of a flagged result does not exclude risk. Predisposition is probabilistic and is modified by environment, lifestyle, ancestry and family history. Results must be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional and must not be used alone to diagnose, treat, or alter any medication regimen. Marrow does not recommend, prescribe, or dose any supplement or medication.
