This one document contains 6 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.
Metabolic Health — Is your metabolism optimal? Maybe, but probably not. A recent study indicated that only about 1 in 8 people in the U.S. have optimal metabolic health [R].
Blood Sugar Control — Blood sugar control is essential for maintaining energy levels, supporting metabolic health, and preventing long-term complications. Genetic predispositions can significantly influence how well your body regulates blood sugar. These genetic factors may affect insulin sensitivity, glucose
Weight & Body Fat — Weight management and body fat distribution are influenced by a combination of environmental factors, lifestyle choices, and genetics. Genetic predispositions can significantly affect your tendency to gain or lose weight, how your body stores fat, and how efficiently your
Liver & Gallbladder Health — The liver is a vital organ that plays a central role in metabolism, detoxification, and overall bodily health. Genetic factors can significantly influence the liver's function and an individual's susceptibility to various liver conditions.
Cardiovascular Health — “Oh, my god! That will give you a heart attack!” said every cliche grandmother ever written. There is a notoriously long list for what “that” is, from high cholesterol to stress to weight. Unfortunately, people have a tendency to not worry about a health issue until it becomes a problem. So,
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.
Engage in strength training exercises, such as weight lifting or bodyweight exercises, for 60 minutes per session, TA 2 to 3 times per week.
Limit red meat to a few times a month and include a moderate amount of dairy products.
Consume fewer calories than your body needs for maintenance.
Aim to do this daily for ongoing health benefits.
Aim for at least two servings of fatty fish per week and use olive oil for cooking and salad dressings.
Incorporate at least 30 minutes of brisk walking into your daily routine, aiming for a minimum of five days a week.
Limit your daily eating to a specific window of time, typically within an 8-hour period such as from 12 pm to 8 pm, and fast for the remaining 16 hours of the day.
Avoid Implementing a smoke-free lifestyle involves communicating your needs to family, friends, and coworkers, requesting they respect your choice by smoking away from you.
Ensure you allocate enough time in your schedule to achieve a minimum of 7 hours of sleep each night.
Reduce your intake of saturated fats by choosing lean cuts of meat, opting for low-fat or fat-free dairy products, and using cooking oils high in unsaturated fats (like olive or canola oil) instead of butter or lard.
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 228 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.
Other non-diabetic risk factors include age, drinking alcohol, certain medications, severe infections, problems with your adrenal or pituitary gland, liver, kidney, or pancreas.
Other diabetic risk factors include taking too much diabetes medication, not eating enough or skipping meals, increasing physical activity without adjusting diet or medications, and drinking alcohol.

In late stages, patients may develop life-threatening complications such as ascites, which is the accumulation of fluid in the abdomen, and variceal bleeding due to increased pressure in the portal vein.
Abstinence from alcohol is the most critical factor in treatment and prevention of disease progression, accompanied by dietary changes and, in severe cases, the consideration for liver transplantation.
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.

Liver & Gallbladder Health — The liver is a vital organ that plays a central role in metabolism, detoxification, and overall bodily health. Genetic factors can significantly influence the liver's function and an individual's susceptibility to various liver conditions.
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.
To avoid cadmium exposure, refrain from smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke, reduce consumption of foods high in cadmium like shellfish, liver, contaminated workplace air by using protective gear if you work in battery manufacturing, welding, or metal refining industries.
Drink 1 to 3 cups of black coffee daily, preferably in the morning to minimize potential sleep disturbances.
Prevent lead exposure by using cold water for drinking and cooking, regularly cleaning dust from windowsills and floors, and ensuring that your home's paint is not chipping if it was built before 1978.
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 25 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.
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.
As ALD advances, the liver's ability to function properly diminishes, leading to serious health issues including jaundice, coagulopathy, and the buildup of toxins in the bloodstream that can affect brain function—a condition known as hepatic encephalopathy.
In late stages, patients may develop life-threatening complications such as ascites, which is the accumulation of fluid in the abdomen, and variceal bleeding due to increased pressure in the portal vein.
Abstinence from alcohol is the most critical factor in treatment and prevention of disease progression, accompanied by dietary changes and, in severe cases, the consideration for liver transplantation.
Liver cirrhosis is a chronic and progressive liver condition in which healthy liver tissue gets replaced with scar tissue.
About 50% of the differences in liver scarring may be due to genetics.
Genes play a role in a number of conditions that can cause cirrhosis, like autoimmune disorders or fatty liver [R, R].
Liver failure can Viral liver Chronic alcohol leading cause Fatty liver can lead to alcoholic Autoimmune system attacks Toxins: Acute substances, acetaminophen mushrooms.
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.

Cardiovascular Health — “Oh, my god! That will give you a heart attack!” said every cliche grandmother ever written. There is a notoriously long list for what “that” is, from high cholesterol to stress to weight. Unfortunately, people have a tendency to not worry about a health issue until it becomes a problem. So,

Limit red meat to a few times a month and include a moderate amount of dairy products.
Aim for at least two servings of fatty fish per week and use olive oil for cooking and salad dressings.
Incorporate at least 30 minutes of brisk walking into your daily routine, aiming for a minimum of five days a week.
Avoid Implementing a smoke-free lifestyle involves communicating your needs to family, friends, and coworkers, requesting they respect your choice by smoking away from you.
Ensure you allocate enough time in your schedule to achieve a minimum of 7 hours of sleep each night.
Reduce your intake of saturated fats by choosing lean cuts of meat, opting for low-fat or fat-free dairy products, and using cooking oils high in unsaturated fats (like olive or canola oil) instead of butter or lard.
