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 94 results here, 10 came back worth discussing with a clinician and 8 came back in your favour. Bring this document to your appointment.

What this package looks at

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!

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

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.

Perimenopause — Genetic factors significantly influence how women experience the menopausal transition, affecting both symptom severity and health risks. This comprehensive report examines genetic variants associated with common perimenopausal symptoms, increased health risks during this

Fertility & Reproductive Health — Female reproductive health is influenced by a complex interaction of genetics, hormones, and environmental factors. Genetics plays a significant role in determining a woman's predisposition to fertility issues, menstrual cycle irregularities, and reproductive hormone imbalances.

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.

Your headline findings

Of the 46 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.

TCF7L2 (Blood Sugar/Diet)Worse genetics
Higher predisposition than average

What this actually is

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.

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 12 results here, 0 came back worth discussing with a clinician and 0 came back in your favour. Bring this document to your appointment.

What this package looks at

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

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.

Your headline findings

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.

Thyroid InflammationMore likely
More likely to have thyroid inflammation based on 348,866 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

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.

Your headline findings

Of the 27 results in this package, these 4 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.

Menopause SymptomsMore likely
Higher predisposition than 99% of people
Your result sits higher than 99% of the population.

What this actually is

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.

What you can do

  • Yoga 30 minutes
    Practice yoga for at least 20 to 30 minutes a day, most days of the week.
  • Mediterranean Diet
    Limit red meat to a few times a month and include a moderate amount of dairy products.

Ask your clinician about

  • St. John's Wort

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

From your Perimenopause report
Heavy SweatingMore likely
More likely to have hyperhidrosis based on 104 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 91% of the population and lower than 9% of the population.

What this actually is

Key Takeaways: Genes that affect excessive sweating may influence nerve function and chemical messengers.

Excessive sweating can impact quality of life and cause undue stress and anxiety.

If you have symptoms, you may want to consult your doctor to rule out other conditions.

What you can do

  • Yoga 30 minutes
    Practice yoga for at least 20 to 30 minutes a day, most days of the week.
  • 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.
  • Avoid Sugary Foods & Drinks
    Aim to do this daily for ongoing health benefits.
From your Perimenopause report
Sexual DysfunctionMore likely
More likely to have sexual dysfunction based on 1,671 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 90% of the population and lower than 10% of the population.

What this actually is

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.

What you can do

  • Sleep for 7+ Hours
    Ensure you allocate enough time in your schedule to achieve a minimum of 7 hours of sleep each night.

Ask your clinician about

  • Methylfolate
  • Zinc

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

From your Perimenopause report
Low MoodMore likely
More likely to have chronically low mood based on 84,205 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 85% of the population and lower than 15% of the population.

What this actually is

Key Takeaways: About 40% of differences in people's odds of developing depression may be due to genetics.

It is more likely for young adults and the elderly but can affect people of all ages.

Other risk factors include traumatic and stressful events, serious medical conditions, and substance use problems.

What you can do

  • Interpersonal Therapy 50 minutes
    Engage in weekly 50-minute sessions with a certified therapist trained in interpersonal therapy for a duration of TA 12-16 weeks.
  • 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.

Where your genetics are working for you

Not everything in a genetic report is a warning. These came back protective or better than average.

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 Perimenopause report
OverweightLess likely
Less likely to be overweight or obese based on 455,505 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

Up to 42% of adults and 19% of children in the US meet the medical criteria for obesity.

Weight gain affects conditions like high blood sugar and heart disease.

However, it is highly modifiable by diet and exercise.

From your Perimenopause report
Metabolic SyndromeLess likely
Less likely to have metabolic syndrome based on 636,870 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

Factors that might increase the risk of developing metabolic syndrome include: Age: Risk increases with age.

A history of diabetes in one's family.

A history of gestational diabetes or having given birth to a baby weighing more than 9 pounds.

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.

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 30 results here, 4 came back worth discussing with a clinician and 5 came back in your favour. Bring this document to your appointment.

What this package looks at

Fertility & Reproductive Health — Female reproductive health is influenced by a complex interaction of genetics, hormones, and environmental factors. Genetics plays a significant role in determining a woman's predisposition to fertility issues, menstrual cycle irregularities, and reproductive hormone imbalances.

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.

Abnormal Vaginal BleedingMore likely
More likely to have abnormal vaginal bleeding based on 66,937 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

The assessment of abnormal vaginal bleeding typically involves a detailed personal medical history and a physical examination, including pelvic examination.

Further diagnostic procedures might include ultrasounds, blood tests to check hormone levels, and sometimes a biopsy to rule out endometrial pathology.

Treatment options vary based on the cause and may include hormonal therapies, such as birth control pills or intrauterine devices (IUDs), medications to control bleeding, or surgical treatments.

What you can do

  • Avoid Douching
    Avoid Exposure To Organic Solvents Ensure to work in well-ventilated areas and wear protective gear when handling products like paints, varnishes, and adhesives.

Female InfertilityMore likely
More likely to have fertility problems based on 569 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 85% of the population and lower than 15% of the population.

What this actually is

Key Takeaways: Genes affecting fertility may impact puberty and menopause.

Even without heritability numbers, managing risk factors like diet and not smoking, can help mitigate your overall risk.

Risk factors include age, smoking, over/underweight, past sexually transmitted infections, alcohol use, and PCOS.

Uterine FibroidsMore likely
More likely to have uterine fibroids based on 49 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

Uterine fibroids are benign growths that develop in the walls of the uterus.

They can vary in size – some are so small that they can’t be seen by the human eye, while others are so large that they can alter the shape of the uterus [R, R].

In the US, 70-80% of women may be diagnosed with uterine fibroids before they turn 50 [R, R, R].

What you can do

  • Avoid Rapid Weight Changes
    Maintain a consistent, healthy weight by avoiding extreme dieting or sudden increases in food intake.

Where your genetics are working for you

Not everything in a genetic report is a warning. These came back protective or better than average.

Ovarian CystsLess likely
Less likely to have ovarian cysts based on 1,670 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 3% of the population and lower than 97% of the population.

What this actually is

Factors that might increase the risk of developing ovarian cysts include: Hormonal imbalances, like those caused by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Early menstruation onset, typically before age 11.

Pelvic infections that spread to the ovaries.

From your Fertility & Reproductive Health report
Preterm LaborLess likely
Less likely to give birth to a preterm baby based on 1,017,185 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 14% of the population and lower than 86% of the population.

What this actually is

The exact causes of preterm labor can be difficult to pinpoint, but several factors are known to increase the risk: Multiple pregnancies: Twins, triplets, or higher-order multiples are more likely to be born prematurely.

Previous preterm birth Maternal health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, infections, and chronic conditions like heart and kidney disease Pregnancy complications: like preeclampsia, placental problems (e.g., placenta previa), or intrauterine growth restriction Smoking, alcohol use, and illicit drug use during pregnancy.

From your Fertility & Reproductive Health report
Heavy PeriodsLess likely
Less likely to have heavy periods based on 20,302 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 17% of the population and lower than 83% of the population.

What this actually is

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.

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.
