This one document contains 5 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.
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.
Sex Hormones — Sex hormones and reproductive hormones play vital roles in regulating physical development, reproductive function, and overall health. These hormones influence everything from muscle mass and bone density to fertility, libido, and mood. Genetic predispositions can affect how these
Hormone Health — Your hormonal (endocrine) system regulates body processes, such as appetite, sex drive, tissue repair, metabolism, and more. Hormones affect more or less everything in your body!
Male Sexual Health — Sexual health is a key component of overall well-being for men, impacting everything from reproductive function to confidence and quality of life. Genetics plays a significant role in determining susceptibility to various sexual health issues, from hormonal imbalances to sexual dysfunction and
Female Sexual Health — Sexual health is a key component of overall well-being, encompassing physical, emotional, and hormonal factors. Genetics can influence a woman's predisposition to a range of sexual health problems, including issues with sexual function and the experience of menopausal symptoms.
Fertility — Male reproductive health is influenced by a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. Genetics plays a significant role in determining fertility and the balance of reproductive hormones, both of which are crucial for reproductive function.
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.
Aim for at least one serving (approximately 1 medium-sized tomato or 1/2 cup of chopped or cooked tomatoes) per day.
Use latex condoms every time you have vaginal, anal, or oral sex.
Schedule and attend regular sessions with a licensed psychotherapist, typically once a week for 50-60 minutes, TA over a period of several months to years depending on your individual needs and progress.
Limit the use of non-organic lawn and garden chemicals.
Refrain from using products containing organic solvents such as paints, varnishes, paint strippers, cleaning supplies, glues, and adhesives.
Use exhaust fans in kitchens and ensure proper ventilation when cooking at high temperatures to reduce indoor levels of PAHs.
Ensure you allocate enough time in your schedule to achieve a minimum of 7 hours of sleep each night.
Engage actively in exercises assigned by your therapist both during sessions and as homework to apply CBT strategies to daily life.
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 71 results in this package, these 8 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.
Genetics plays a role in the age at which menopause starts and the severity of symptoms.
For example, genetic variations that influence the metabolism of sex hormones are associated with the frequency and severity of hot flashes.
Women often follow a similar pattern as their mothers or sisters.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI), usually caused by the herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2).
Genetics may also affect susceptibility to genital herpes.
Involved genes may play a role in the immune response, cell life cycle, and more.
Key Takeaways: Genetics involved in painful periods influence pain, inflammation, and hormones.
Other risk factors include age, starting puberty young, periods with heavy bleeding, irregular periods, and stress.
If you experience symptoms, talk to a healthcare professional to rule out other health conditions and/or to manage pain.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
The exact cause of prostate cancer is not clearly understood, but several factors have been identified that increase the risk of developing this disease: Age: The risk increases significantly after age 50, and it is most common in men over 65.
Family history: Having a father or brother with prostate cancer more than doubles a man’s risk.
Race/Ethnicity: African-American men have a higher risk of prostate cancer than men of other races.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
The exact cause of prostatitis is not always clear but can be due to bacterial infections, nerve damage in the pelvic area, or direct injury to the prostate.
Risk factors for prostate inflammation include: Recent bladder infections Enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) Having a urinary catheter or recent medical procedures involving the urinary tract Pelvic trauma or injury Dehydration, which can lead to concentrated urine While prostate inflammation can be uncomfortable and disruptive, with the right treatment and care, most men can achieve relief from their symptoms.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
Key Takeaways: About 40% of differences in people's chances of developing sexual dysfunction may be due to genetics.
Risk factors include getting older, hormone changes, stress, and certain health conditions.
If you are experiencing symptoms, check with your doctor for possible solutions.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
Key Takeaways: Genes affecting male fertility may be involved with sperm production and protecting DNA from damage.
Risk factors include: certain health or anatomical issues, stress, medical treatments, chemical/heat exposure, drug and alcohol use, smoking, obesity.
If you have a high genetic risk, you may reduce overall risk by taking action on risk factors that you can change.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
The two main TCF7L2 variants are rs7903146 and rs12255372.
They are almost always inherited together, which means they act as a single genetic factor.
Their "T" alleles have one of the strongest known links with type 2 diabetes.
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.
Other risk factors include certain medications and health conditions, use of intrauterine devices (IUD), and stress.
Up to 55% of people who menstruate may have heavy periods.
If you have high genetic risk or experience symptoms, talk to your healthcare professional about the best actions to take.
Several factors can increase the risk of developing testicular cancer: Undescended testicle at birth Family history Personal history Age: Most common in men between 15 and 35.
Ethnicity: More common in Caucasian men compared to African-American men.
Treatment options depend on the cancer’s stage and type and may include: Surgery: The primary treatment is often a radical inguinal orchiectomy, where the affected testicle is removed through an incision in the groin.
The remaining results, grouped by what they mean. Every one of these is explained in full — with the genes and variants behind it — in the technical version of this report.
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.
