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 207 results here, 42 came back worth discussing with a clinician and 17 came back in your favour. Bring this document to your appointment.

What this package looks at

Inflammation & Autoimmunity — Inflammation and autoimmunity are key processes that affect the body’s ability to maintain health and respond to threats. Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or infection, but chronic inflammation can lead to a variety of health problems, from gut issues to systemic diseases.

Gut Health — Your gut is an amazingly complex system of organs, finely tuned to take in and process nutrients and then get rid of the waste. Besides supplying you with the energy you need, it is also a central hub for overall health, comprising about 70% of your immune system and having a direct

Joint & Tendon Health — Joint and tendon health is essential for maintaining mobility, flexibility, and overall physical function. Genetic factors play a significant role in determining your susceptibility to various conditions that affect the joints and tendons, such as joint pain, arthritis, and tendon problems. While

Histamine — Histamine is a crucial molecule that plays multiple roles in your body, from immune responses to neurotransmitter function and digestion. This analysis explores genetic variations that influence every aspect of histamine metabolism -from production and storage to breakdown and

Gluten Sensitivity — Why do some people react strongly to gluten while others can eat it without issue? The answer often lies in our genes, particularly in the HLA gene family. This report examines genetic factors that influence both celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity, mapping out how different

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.

More likely to have plantar fasciitis based on 28,598 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

Factors that might increase the risk of developing plantar fasciitis include: Age, with it being most common between the ages of 40 and 60 Certain types of exercise, such as long-distance running or ballet dancing Foot mechanics, including having a high arch, flat feet, or an abnormal walking pattern Obesity, which places extra stress on the plantar fascia Occupations that require long periods of standing or walking on hard surfaces Wearing shoes with inadequate support Genetics While plantar fasciitis is primarily associated with environmental factors and physical stress on the foot, there is some evidence to suggest that genetic factors might play a role in predisposing certain individuals to the condition.

What you can do

  • Shock Wave Therapy
    Schedule and attend sessions for extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) with a qualified healthcare provider.

Higher predisposition than 98% of people
Your result sits higher than 98% of the population.

What this actually is

Symptoms of rectal prolapse include a sensation of a bulging from the anus, discharge of mucus or blood, anal pain, fecal incontinence, or an obstructed bowel movement.

The causes are diverse, ranging from chronic constipation, straining during bowel movements, weakened pelvic floor muscles due to age, previous surgeries, or childbearing.

More likely to have Treatment hinges on the severity and can vary from self-care 10,706 genetic techniques and exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor, to surgical interventions aimed at repairing and securing the rectum in its proper place.

What you can do

  • Eat Fiber-Rich Foods
    grams per day, spread out over all meals.

Ask your clinician about

  • Probiotics

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

From your Gut Health report
Neck ArthritisMore likely
Higher predisposition than 98% of people
Your result sits higher than 98% of the population.

What this actually is

As the disks in the cervical spine dehydrate and shrink, signs of osteoarthritis develop, including the formation of bony projections along the edges of bones (bone spurs).

Cervical spondylosis can sometimes lead to a narrowing of the space needed by the spinal cord and the nerve roots that pass through the spine to the rest of the body.

More likely to have When these nerve pathways are affected, individuals might 481,932 genetic experience neurological symptoms such as numbness, weakness, or tingling in the arms, hands, legs, or feet.

What you can do

  • Physical Therapy 30 minutes
    Attend physical therapy sessions 2-3 times per week for a duration of 4-6 weeks, depending on your specific TA condition and the advice of your healthcare provider.

From your Joint & Tendon Health report
A further 34 results were also flagged for attention. They are listed below and explained in full in the technical version of this report.

Where your genetics are working for you

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

Joint PainLess likely
Less likely to have osteoarthritis based on 385,825 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

Key Takeaways: Osteoarthritis will affect the majority of people over the age of 55.

So, even with low genetic risk, the overall risk is still high for older people.

About 50% of the differences in people's chances of getting osteoarthritis may be due to genetics.

From your Joint & Tendon Health report
Gut InflammationLess likely
Less likely to have IBD based on 1,671 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 8% of the population and lower than 92% of the population.

What this actually is

Risk factors include being under age 30, European ancestry, and smoking.

IBD may cause: diarrhea, fatigue, abdominal pain, bloody stool, weight loss, inflammation, liver damage, and colon cancer.

IBD only affects about 3 in 1000 people worldwide.

From your Inflammation & Autoimmunity report & Gut Health
AppendicitisLess likely
Less likely to have appendicitis based on 809,853 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 8% of the population and lower than 92% of the population.

What this actually is

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
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 80 results here, 9 came back worth discussing with a clinician and 6 came back in your favour. Bring this document to your appointment.

What this package looks at

Inflammation & Autoimmunity — Inflammation and autoimmunity are key processes that affect the body’s ability to maintain health and respond to threats. Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or infection, but chronic inflammation can lead to a variety of health problems, from gut issues to systemic diseases.

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.

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.

What you can do

  • Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) Diet
    Eliminate grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, nightshades, dairy, eggs, coffee, alcohol, refined sugars, refined oils, food additives, and processed foods from your diet for a minimum of 30 days.

Eye InflammationMore likely
More likely to have uveitis based on 3,409 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 84% of the population and lower than 16% of the population.

What this actually is

The management of uveitis involves addressing both the inflammation and the underlying cause if identified.

Typical treatments include corticosteroids to reduce the inflammation and drugs that manage the immune system's response.

Careful monitoring by an ophthalmologist is critical to prevent complications such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular edema, all of which could lead to loss of vision.

More likely to get Crohn's disease based on 1,031,499 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 66% of the population and lower than 34% of the population.

What this actually is

Aside from gastrointestinal symptoms, Crohn's Disease can also have systemic effects on the body, leading to issues such as anemia, skin rashes, arthritis, and eye inflammation.

The cause of Crohn's Disease is not fully understood, but it involves an abnormal immune response to the microorganisms in the intestine, in genetically susceptible individuals.

There's no known cure for Crohn's Disease, but therapies can greatly reduce its signs and symptoms and even bring about long-term remission and healing of inflammation.

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
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.

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.

Your headline findings

Of the 27 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.

Heel Pain (Plantar Fasciitis)More likely
More likely to have plantar fasciitis based on 28,598 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

Factors that might increase the risk of developing plantar fasciitis include: Age, with it being most common between the ages of 40 and 60 Certain types of exercise, such as long-distance running or ballet dancing Foot mechanics, including having a high arch, flat feet, or an abnormal walking pattern Obesity, which places extra stress on the plantar fascia Occupations that require long periods of standing or walking on hard surfaces Wearing shoes with inadequate support Genetics While plantar fasciitis is primarily associated with environmental factors and physical stress on the foot, there is some evidence to suggest that genetic factors might play a role in predisposing certain individuals to the condition.

What you can do

  • Shock Wave Therapy
    Schedule and attend sessions for extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) with a qualified healthcare provider.
  • Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
    Use a low-level laser therapy device, as directed by its manual or a healthcare professional, on the affected area.
  • Acupuncture

From your Joint & Tendon Health report
Neck ArthritisMore likely
Higher predisposition than 98% of people
Your result sits higher than 98% of the population.

What this actually is

As the disks in the cervical spine dehydrate and shrink, signs of osteoarthritis develop, including the formation of bony projections along the edges of bones (bone spurs).

Cervical spondylosis can sometimes lead to a narrowing of the space needed by the spinal cord and the nerve roots that pass through the spine to the rest of the body.

More likely to have When these nerve pathways are affected, individuals might 481,932 genetic experience neurological symptoms such as numbness, weakness, or tingling in the arms, hands, legs, or feet.

What you can do

  • Physical Therapy 30 minutes
    Attend physical therapy sessions 2-3 times per week for a duration of 4-6 weeks, depending on your specific TA condition and the advice of your healthcare provider.
  • Acupuncture
    Visit a licensed acupuncturist for a session, typically lasting between 30 to 60 minutes, once or twice a week.

From your Joint & Tendon Health report
Shoulder ImpingementMore likely
More likely to have shoulder impingement based on 1,676 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

Risk factors for shoulder impingement include: Age: It is more common in middle-aged and older adults due to wear and tear.

Activities: Overhead activities common in some sports and jobs can lead to impingement.

Trauma: A fall or blow to the shoulder can initiate impingement symptoms.

What you can do

  • Manual Therapy
    Reduce Tendon Strain To reduce tendon strain, modify your daily activities to avoid motions that cause discomfort or pain.
  • Physical Therapy 30 minutes
    Attend physical therapy sessions 2-3 times per week for a duration of 4-6 weeks, depending on your specific TA condition and the advice of your healthcare provider.
  • Exercise Therapy
    Begin by consulting with a physical therapist to assess your condition and create a personalized exercise plan.
From your Joint & Tendon Health report
Disc DegenerationMore likely
More likely to have disc degeneration based on 844,435 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

As disc degeneration progresses, individuals may experience chronic back pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility.

In some cases, the narrowing of the disc space can lead to nerve compression, resulting in symptoms such as sciatica, which is characterized by radiating pain down one or both legs.

Moreover, the body may form bony growths called bone spurs in response to the instability, potentially exacerbating nerve compression and leading to further discomfort and disability.

What you can do

  • Good Posture
    Do this continuously throughout the day, reminding yourself to adjust your posture whenever you notice it lapsing.
  • Topical CBD
    Apply a CBD-infused cream or ointment to the affected area of the skin 2-3 times per day, gently massaging it into the skin until fully absorbed.
From your Joint & Tendon Health report
Trigger FingerMore likely
More likely to have trigger finger based on 3 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 87% of the population and lower than 13% of the population.

What this actually is

Risk factors for trigger finger include [R, R, R, R, R]: Hobbies or jobs that require repetitive hand motions or prolonged gripping Some chronic health conditions (e.g., diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis) Female sex Previous surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome Genetics The genes involved in this condition may alter the structure of tendons [R, R].

What you can do

  • Shock Wave Therapy
    Schedule and attend sessions for extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) with a qualified healthcare provider.
From your Joint & Tendon Health report
Jaw Disorders (TMJ)More likely
More likely to have a TMJ disorder based on 17,327 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 81% of the population and lower than 19% of the population.

What this actually is

Key Takeaways: Genetics plays a role in factors that contribute to TMJ disorders, such as arthritis or teeth grinding.

These genes may affect bone and cartilage structure, and mental health.

Factors that may increase the risk of developing TMJ disorders include arthritis, jaw injury, teeth grinding or clenching, and connective tissue problems.

What you can do

  • Reduce Jaw Strain
    Avoid chewing gum, biting on hard foods like nuts or ice, and lengthy yawning.
  • Physical Therapy 30 minutes
    Attend physical therapy sessions 2-3 times per week for a duration of 4-6 weeks, depending on your specific TA condition and the advice of your healthcare provider.
  • Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
    Use a low-level laser therapy device, as directed by its manual or a healthcare professional, on the affected area.
From your Joint & Tendon Health report
Dupuytren’s ContractureMore likely
More likely to have a Dupuytren's contracture based on 311 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 80% of the population and lower than 20% of the population.

What this actually is

This condition commonly occurs in older adults, and risk factors include Northern European ancestry, a family history of the condition, diabetes, and smoking.

Although pain is not always associated with Dupuytren’s contracture, the limitation in hand function and dexterity can significantly interfere with daily activities.

Treatment can range from observation to various invasive procedures, such as needle aponeurotomy, enzyme injections to break down the tissue cord, or in severe cases, surgical removal of the affected tissue.

What you can do

  • Stretching 15 minutes
    Incorporate stretching exercises into your daily routine, dedicating at least 10-15 minutes each day.
  • Avoid Strenuous Activity
    Refrain from participating in high-intensity physical activities such as running, heavy weightlifting, and high-impact sports.
From your Joint & Tendon Health report
Spinal ArthritisMore likely
More likely to have spinal arthritis based on 977,839 genetic variants we looked at

What this actually is

The symptoms of spinal arthritis might progress gradually and can vary in severity.

Individuals with this condition often experience chronic low back or neck pain which can sometimes be accompanied by a grinding sensation or a feeling of bone-on-bone friction.

As the disease advances, it can lead to the development of bone spurs or osteophytes, which may impinge on nerve roots, potentially causing tingling, numbness, or weakness in the limbs.

What you can do

  • Good Posture
    Do this continuously throughout the day, reminding yourself to adjust your posture whenever you notice it lapsing.
  • Stretching 15 minutes
    Incorporate stretching exercises into your daily routine, dedicating at least 10-15 minutes each day.
  • Topical CBD

Where your genetics are working for you

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

Joint PainLess likely
Less likely to have osteoarthritis based on 385,825 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

Key Takeaways: Osteoarthritis will affect the majority of people over the age of 55.

So, even with low genetic risk, the overall risk is still high for older people.

About 50% of the differences in people's chances of getting osteoarthritis may be due to genetics.

From your Joint & Tendon Health report
Tendon InjuryLess likely
Less likely to have tendinopathy based on 6 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 18% of the population and lower than 82% of the population.

What this actually is

Other risk factors include intense physical activity or certain sports, using improper training technique or equipment, doing repetitive tasks, age (over 40), being female, some chronic health conditions and medications.

About 16 million tendon and ligament injuries occur in the U.S. each year.

If you have a high genetic risk, you may lower your overall risk by taking action on those factors that you can change.

From your Joint & Tendon Health report
Tendon InflammationLess likely
Less likely to have tendon inflammation based on 1,657 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 19% of the population and lower than 81% of the population.

What this actually is

Potential risk factors for tendon inflammation include: Age: Tendinitis is more common as tendons become less flexible with age.

Occupations that involve repetitive motions or forceful exertion.

Certain sports, particularly those that involve repetitive movements.

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
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 22 results here, 4 came back worth discussing with a clinician and 0 came back in your favour. Bring this document to your appointment.

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.

Changes you can make yourself

1
Elimination Diet

Begin by removing foods you suspect might be causing adverse reactions for 2-3 weeks.

Your headline findings

Of the 22 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.

Food AllergiesMore likely
More likely to have food allergies based on 16,808 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 95% of the population and lower than 5% of the population.

What this actually is

Key Takeaways: Up to 80% of differences in people's chances of having food allergies may be attributed to genetics.

Many allergies come and go through childhood, but common ones that linger into adulthood include nuts, seafood, milk, and eggs.

Reducing risk for allergies involves avoiding the various food triggers.

What you can do

  • Avoid Food Triggers
    Identify foods that trigger negative reactions in your body, such as digestive issues, allergies, or headaches, and eliminate them from your diet entirely.
  • Elimination Diet
    Begin by removing foods you suspect might be causing adverse reactions for 2-3 weeks.

Ask your clinician about

  • Butyrate

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

From your Food Sensitivities report
Peanut AllergyMore likely
More likely to have peanut allergy based on 780 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

About 3 million people in the U.S. have a nut allergy.

Risk factors involve contact with peanuts.

Verify food content in restaurants, and read all food packaging labels to minimize risk.

From your Food Sensitivities report
Egg AllergyMore likely
More likely to have an egg allergy based on 373 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 80% of the population and lower than 20% of the population.

What this actually is

Egg allergies are relatively common, especially in children, and can be very severe.

A person usually develops a reaction to one or more egg white proteins.

Luckily, the allergy often fades with age [R, R].

What you can do

  • Elimination Diet
    Begin by removing foods you suspect might be causing adverse reactions for 2-3 weeks.

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 12 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.

Excessive Mast CellsMore likely
More likely to have excessive mast cells based on 14 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

Mastocytosis is often linked to mutations in the KIT gene, which plays a role in mast cell growth and development.

These mutations are usually acquired during a person's life rather than being inherited.

Other, less important risk factors include: Family history: Rare cases may run in families, but most are sporadic.

What this actually is

The most widely-investigated HRH2 polymorphism is rs2067474 (-1018 G>A).

Its minor ‘A’ allele may affect gene expression based on its position within the gene sequence but its exact contribution to HRH2 function hasn’t been established.
