Summary Report

The reports inside this package

This one document contains 2 complete genetic reports. Each was scored on its own, then combined here so you can read everything in one place. Every result further down is labelled with the report it came from.

About this report

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.

What each result group means

Worth a conversation with your doctor
These came back with a higher genetic predisposition than most people. That is not a diagnosis — it means these are the ones worth raising at your next appointment.
Running above the typical range
Your genetics point to these sitting higher than average. Often useful to know, sometimes worth monitoring.
Running below the typical range
Your genetics point to these sitting lower than average. Same idea — context, not alarm.
Working in your favour
Good news. Your genetics look protective or better than average here.
In line with most people
Nothing unusual. These were tested and came back typical — worth having on record.

Your results at a glance

How to read this. A result being flagged does not mean you have a condition — it means your genetics put you above or below the average person for that trait. Of the 34 results here, 14 came back worth discussing with a clinician and 1 came back in your favour. Bring this document to your appointment.

What this package looks at

Kidney Health — The kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste and maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. Genetic factors can influence your susceptibility to various kidney-related conditions, ranging from chronic diseases to acute kidney injuries.

Urinary Tract Health — Urinary tract health plays a crucial role in maintaining overall well-being, affecting everything from bladder function to prostate health. While lifestyle factors such as hydration and hygiene are important, genetics also plays a significant role in determining your susceptibility to various urinary

What you can actually do

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.

What to do with this

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.

Methodology

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.

Limitations

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.
