Thyroid Health Problems · Thyroid Hormones · Thyroid Genes
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.
Thyroid Health — The thyroid gland plays a vital role in regulating metabolism, energy levels, and overall hormonal balance. Thyroid health can significantly impact various bodily functions, from weight management and energy production to mood and cardiovascular health.
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.
Limit Soy Intake Reduce your consumption of soy and soy-based products to no more than 1-2 servings per week.
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 15 results in this package, these 1 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.
The most common forms of thyroiditis include Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid; postpartum thyroiditis, which can occur after childbirth; and subacute thyroiditis, which usually follows a viral infection.
Diagnosis may involve blood tests to measure thyroid hormone levels, as well as antibody tests to detect autoimmune activity.
Treatment depends on the type and severity of thyroiditis, ranging from observation and symptom management to medications like levothyroxine for hypothyroidism or beta-blockers for hyperthyroidism symptoms.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
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.
