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

What this package looks at

Brain Health — Some of us get stressed out by every single detail, while others go through life with a smile on their face. Going out for a drink after work, one has a single glass, while another downs an entire bottle. In a college class, one student pours through a text, while another googles up possible places to

Cognition — Cognition, or the mental processes involved in acquiring knowledge and understanding, is a critical aspect of human functioning. From problem-solving and memory to creativity and reasoning, our cognitive abilities shape how we navigate the world.

Mood & Mental Health — Mental health and mood regulation are influenced by a combination of environmental factors and genetics. Recent advances in genetic research have unveiled how specific genes and biomarkers may predispose individuals to various mental health conditions, mood disorders, and

Nerve Health — Nerve health plays a vital role in overall well-being, affecting everything from movement and sensation to cognition and emotional balance. Genetics can significantly influence an individual's susceptibility to various nerve-related conditions, impacting both the peripheral and central

Headaches & Migraines — Headaches and migraines are common issues that can significantly impact daily life, leading to discomfort, pain, and reduced productivity. While environmental factors such as stress, sleep patterns, and diet can trigger headaches, genetics also plays an essential role in determining an

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.

From your Brain Health report
Binge EatingMore likely
More likely to binge eat based on 13,449 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 98% of the population and lower than 2% of the population.

What this actually is

Binge eating can be associated with: Psychological issues: Low self-esteem, body dissatisfaction, and significant stress can trigger binge eating.

Biological factors: Genetic mutations may affect hunger and satiety, through alterations in brain chemistry that can predispose individuals to eating disorders.

Social and cultural factors: Dysfunctional family dynamics, professions and activities that focus on appearance and dieting, and traumatic situations such as bullying or abuse can increase the risk of BED.

What you can do

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
    Engage actively in exercises assigned by your therapist both during sessions and as homework to apply CBT strategies to daily life.
  • Psychodynamic Therapy
    Schedule and attend weekly sessions with a trained psychodynamic therapist for a minimum duration of 6 months to several years, depending on individual needs and progress.
From your Brain Health report
Brain FogMore likely
More likely to have brain fog based on 5,554 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 97% of the population and lower than 3% of the population.

What this actually is

Key Takeaways: Brain fog is a common symptom of chronic fatigue syndrome.

It manifests as memory problems, difficulty focusing, jumbled or hazy thoughts, and confusion.

Risk factors include stress, sleep problems, air pollution, smoking, and your genetics.

What you can do

  • Sleep for 7+ Hours
    Sleep for 7+ Ensure you allocate enough time in your schedule to achieve a minimum of 7 hours of sleep each night.
  • Coffee
    Drink 1 to 3 cups of black coffee daily, preferably in the morning to minimize potential sleep disturbances.
  • Yoga 30 minutes
    Practice yoga for at least 20 to 30 minutes a day, most days of the week.
From your Brain Health report
Guilty FeelingsMore likely
More likely to have guilty feelings based on 508,257 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 96% of the population and lower than 4% of the population.

What this actually is

Chronic or excessive feelings of guilt can be particularly debilitating, leading to a well-documented decline in psychological well-being.

It can manifest in physical symptoms such as insomnia, loss of appetite, or gastrointestinal distress due to the close connection between mental and physical health.

In some cases, persistent guilt may also contribute to the development of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, and compulsive behaviors.

From your Brain Health report
DyslexiaMore likely
More likely to have dyslexia based on 176 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 96% of the population and lower than 4% of the population.

What this actually is

Dyslexia is a learning disorder affecting reading skills.

It involves issues with identifying speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words (decoding).

About 40-60% of the differences in dyslexia may be due to genetics.

What you can do

  • Music Therapy 30 minutes
    Engage in music therapy sessions for at least 30 minutes a day, three times a week.
  • Avoid Cadmium Exposure
    Consider increasing your intake of tryptophan-rich foods.
  • Limit Manganese Exposure
    Avoid consuming water with high levels of manganese by using filters certified to remove it, especially if your water comes from a well.
From your Brain Health report
Borderline PersonalityMore likely
More likely to have BPD based on 17,840 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 93% of the population and lower than 7% of the population.

What this actually is

Factors that might increase the risk of developing BPD include: Childhood abandonment, neglect, or abuse A family history of BPD or other mental health disorders Brain abnormalities, particularly in regions related to emotion regulation, impulsivity, and aggression Neurochemical imbalances in the brain Genetics There is evidence suggesting that genetics plays a role in BPD development.

Having a close family member, such as a parent or sibling, with the disorder can increase the risk of developing BPD.

Research has indicated that certain genetic variants might be linked to BPD, affecting how the brain regulates emotions and impulsivity.

What you can do

  • Coffee
    Drink 1 to 3 cups of black coffee daily, preferably in the morning to minimize potential sleep disturbances.
  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
    Engage actively in exercises assigned by your therapist both during sessions and as homework to apply CBT strategies to daily life.

Ask your clinician about

  • Omega-3 (Fish Oil)

Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.

From your Brain Health report
Obsessive-Compulsive TendenciesMore likely
Higher predisposition than 92% of people
Your result sits higher than 92% of the population.

What you can do

  • Yoga 30 minutes
    Practice yoga for at least 20 to 30 minutes a day, most days of the week.

Ask your clinician about

  • N-acetylcysteine (NAC)
  • Zinc

Cognitive DeclineLess likely
Less likely to have cognitive decline based on 272,168 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 1% of the population and lower than 99% of the population.

What this actually is

Mild cognitive decline is a normal part of aging that can affect cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and problem-solving.

About 60-70% of the differences in people’s cognitive decline may come from genetics.

For example, genetically high total and bioavailable testosterone may be causally associated with larger gray matter volume in men [R, R, R].

From your Brain Health report
DeliriumLess likely
Lower predisposition than average
From your Brain Health report
AnhedoniaLess likely
Less likely to have anhedonia based on 3 genetic variants we looked at

What this actually is

Factors that might increase the risk of experiencing anhedonia include: Having a mood disorder, like depression or bipolar disorder.

Chronic stress or exposure to traumatic events.

Chronic physical illnesses, such as Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis.

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.

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

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.

Worth asking your clinician about

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.

Your headline findings

Of the 5 results in this package, these 2 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.

MigrainesMore likely
More likely to have migraines based on 109,603 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 99% of the population and lower than 1% of the population.

What this actually is

Risk factors include: obesity, depression, stress, being female, blood vessel issues, brain chemical imbalances.

If you have a high genetic risk, take action on modifiable risk factors to help reduce overall risk.

About 16% of Americans regularly have migraines.

What you can do

  • Avoid Food Triggers
    Try to limit caffeine to per day to avoid migraines.
  • Avoid Sensory Triggers
    Practice the techniques learned during sessions at home daily to improve symptoms and manage your condition.
  • Sleep for 7+ Hours
    Ensure you allocate enough time in your schedule to achieve a minimum of 7 hours of sleep each night.

Cluster HeadachesMore likely
More likely to have cluster headaches based on 980 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 82% of the population and lower than 18% of the population.

What this actually is

A cluster headache is a type of severe headache with bouts of frequent attacks, known as cluster periods.

Attacks may be triggered by: Alcohol High altitudes Bright light Heavy physical activity Heat Eating foods high in nitrites Certain medicines Illicit drugs like cocaine Some of the risk factors for cluster headaches include: Male sex Age 20 to 40 Smoking Genetics Genetics may explain about 25% of the differences in people’s odds of cluster headaches [R, R].

What you can do

  • Nerve Stimulation 30 minutes
    Nerve stimulation can be implemented by daily sessions of 15-30 minutes using a device specifically designed for TA this purpose.
  • Maintain a Regular Meal Schedule
    Eat your meals at the same times each day, for instance, breakfast at 7 AM, lunch at 12 PM, and dinner at 6 PM.
  • Deep Brain Stimulation
    Deep Deep brain stimulation is a medical procedure performed by healthcare professionals.

  • Tension Headaches — Typical likelihood, 64th percentile
  • Headache — Typical likelihood, 51th percentile
  • DAO (Histamine) — Typical activity

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.
