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 150 results here, 14 came back worth discussing with a clinician and 11 came back in your favour. Bring this document to your appointment.

What this package looks at

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

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

Amino Acids — Understanding the genetic predisposition for amino acid levels and needs is crucial for tailoring individual health and nutritional plans. This report delves into how genetic variations can influence the body's ability to absorb, produce, and use amino acids, potentially impacting overall

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.

Your headline findings

Of the 150 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.

Low Blood SugarMore likely
More likely to have low blood sugar based on 126,569 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

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.

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

What you can do

  • Regular Sleep Schedule
    Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night.
  • Honey
    Its osmotic effect also draws out excess fluid from the ulcer, speeding up the healing process.
From your Metabolic Health report & Blood Sugar Control
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.

From your Metabolic Health report
ADRB2 (Weight)Worse genetics
Higher predisposition than average

What this actually is

The rs1042714 variant (also known as Q27E or Gln27Glu) has been most widely researched when it comes to weight.

Its minor ‘G’ allele (Glu, E) was associated with approximately 20% higher odds of obesity in a meta-analysis of 18 studies.

An older meta-analysis came to a similar conclusion.

What you can do

  • Strength Training
    Engage in strength training exercises, such as weight lifting or bodyweight exercises, for 60 minutes per session, TA 2 to 3 times per week.
  • Intermittent Fasting
    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.

Ask your clinician about

  • Caffeine

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

From your Weight & Body Fat report & Metabolic Health
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.

What you can do

  • Avoid Sugary Foods & Drinks
    Aim to do this daily for ongoing health benefits.
  • Avoid Sugary Foods & Drinks
    Aim to do this daily for ongoing health benefits.
  • Mediterranean Diet
    Limit red meat to a few times a month and include a moderate amount of dairy products.
From your Metabolic Health report & Blood Sugar Control
Diabetic NeuropathyMore likely
More likely to have diabetic neuropathy based on 1,658 genetic variants we looked at

What this actually is

Prolonged exposure to high blood sugar levels is the primary cause of diabetic neuropathy.

However, other factors that might increase the risk or severity of diabetic neuropathy include: Smoking Alcohol abuse Obesity High blood pressure Kidney disease Genetics Specific genetic variations might render some individuals more vulnerable to the neurotoxic effects of high blood sugar.

Hence, while some people with diabetes may never develop neuropathy, others might face complications even with good glucose control.

Ask your clinician about

  • Alpha-Lipoic Acid
  • Tocotrienols
  • Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

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

From your Blood Sugar Control report
Diabetic Foot UlcersMore likely
Higher predisposition than average

What this actually is

The following factors may increase the risk of diabetic foot ulcers: Peripheral neuropathy, which reduces the ability to feel pain and detect injuries.

Poor blood circulation, which compromises skin health and healing ability.

Foot deformities, which increase the risk of pressure sores.

What you can do

  • Infrared Light Therapy
    After one month, the patients’ ulcers shrank in size and had fewer secretions.
  • Honey
    Its osmotic effect also draws out excess fluid from the ulcer, speeding up the healing process.

Ask your clinician about

  • Zinc

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

From your Blood Sugar Control report
Diabetic NephropathyMore likely
More likely to have diabetic nephropathy based on 28,985 genetic variants we looked at

What this actually is

Factors linked to an increased risk of diabetic nephropathy include: Poorly controlled blood sugar levels High blood pressure Long duration of diabetes Smoking Obesity Family history of kidney disease High cholesterol levels Managing diabetic nephropathy involves controlling blood sugar and blood pressure, alongside lifestyle changes.

Common treatments include: Medications: ACE inhibitors or ARBs to control blood pressure, blood sugar-lowering drugs, and statins for cholesterol management.

Dietary changes: Low-protein and low-sodium diets to reduce kidney strain.

What you can do

  • Okra
  • Avoid Organochlorine Pesticide Exposure
    Consider using air purifiers in homes close to agricultural areas to reduce indoor pesticide levels.

Ask your clinician about

  • Resveratrol

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

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 Weight & Body Fat report & Metabolic Health
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.

From your Weight & Body Fat report & Metabolic Health, Blood Sugar Control
Sugar CravingsLess likely
Less likely to crave sugar based on 673,476 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 20% of the population and lower than 80% of the population.

What this actually is

People who have less sensitive sweet receptors may have a “sweet tooth.” They may prefer sweet foods and eat more of them [R, R, R].

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.

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 58 results here, 4 came back worth discussing with a clinician and 3 came back in your favour. Bring this document to your appointment.

What this package looks at

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].

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.

Your headline findings

Of the 58 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.

Low Blood SugarMore likely
More likely to have low blood sugar based on 126,569 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

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.

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

What you can do

  • Regular Sleep Schedule
    Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night.
From your Metabolic Health 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.

From your Metabolic Health report
ADRB2 (Weight)Worse genetics
Higher predisposition than average

What this actually is

The rs1042714 variant (also known as Q27E or Gln27Glu) has been most widely researched when it comes to weight.

Its minor ‘G’ allele (Glu, E) was associated with approximately 20% higher odds of obesity in a meta-analysis of 18 studies.

An older meta-analysis came to a similar conclusion.

What you can do

  • Strength Training
    Engage in strength training exercises, such as weight lifting or bodyweight exercises, for 60 minutes per session, TA 2 to 3 times per week.

Ask your clinician about

  • Caffeine

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

From your Metabolic Health report
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.

What you can do

  • Mediterranean Diet
    Limit red meat to a few times a month and include a moderate amount of dairy products.
  • Whole Grains
    Aim to replace refined grains with whole grains at each meal for optimal benefits.

Where your genetics are working for you

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

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 Metabolic Health 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.

From your Metabolic Health report
FTO (Weight)Better
Lower predisposition than average

What this actually is

An SNP in this gene, rs9939609, has shown a robust association with obesity across different ages and ethnic groups.

Carriers of the minor 'A' allele tend to gain more weight and have higher rates of obesity [R, R, R, R].

Many human studies suggest that the 'A' allele at rs9939609 is associated with: Higher levels of ghrelin or the "hunger hormone" Higher food intake [R, R, R] Increased preference for higher-calorie foods [R, R, R] Increased enjoyment of food Not feeling full after meals [R, R, R] Eating in the absence of hunger [R, R] Food cravings Emotional and binge eating In contrast, the 'T' allele is linked to normal body weight, more satiety after meals, and possibly healthier dietary choices [R, R, R].

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

What you can do

  • Honey
    Its osmotic effect also draws out excess fluid from the ulcer, speeding up the healing process.
From your Blood Sugar Control report
Diabetic NeuropathyMore likely
More likely to have diabetic neuropathy based on 1,658 genetic variants we looked at

What this actually is

Prolonged exposure to high blood sugar levels is the primary cause of diabetic neuropathy.

However, other factors that might increase the risk or severity of diabetic neuropathy include: Smoking Alcohol abuse Obesity High blood pressure Kidney disease Genetics Specific genetic variations might render some individuals more vulnerable to the neurotoxic effects of high blood sugar.

Hence, while some people with diabetes may never develop neuropathy, others might face complications even with good glucose control.

Ask your clinician about

  • Alpha-Lipoic Acid
  • Tocotrienols
  • Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

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

From your Blood Sugar Control report
Diabetic Foot UlcersMore likely
Higher predisposition than average

What this actually is

The following factors may increase the risk of diabetic foot ulcers: Peripheral neuropathy, which reduces the ability to feel pain and detect injuries.

Poor blood circulation, which compromises skin health and healing ability.

Foot deformities, which increase the risk of pressure sores.

What you can do

  • Infrared Light Therapy
    After one month, the patients’ ulcers shrank in size and had fewer secretions.
  • Honey
    Its osmotic effect also draws out excess fluid from the ulcer, speeding up the healing process.

Diabetic NephropathyMore likely
More likely to have diabetic nephropathy based on 28,985 genetic variants we looked at

What this actually is

Factors linked to an increased risk of diabetic nephropathy include: Poorly controlled blood sugar levels High blood pressure Long duration of diabetes Smoking Obesity Family history of kidney disease High cholesterol levels Managing diabetic nephropathy involves controlling blood sugar and blood pressure, alongside lifestyle changes.

Common treatments include: Medications: ACE inhibitors or ARBs to control blood pressure, blood sugar-lowering drugs, and statins for cholesterol management.

Dietary changes: Low-protein and low-sodium diets to reduce kidney strain.

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 45 results here, 7 came back worth discussing with a clinician and 4 came back in your favour. Bring this document to your appointment.

Your headline findings

Of the 45 results in this package, these 7 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.

Essential Amino AcidsIncreased need

PNPLA3 (Lipids/ Liver Health)Worse genetics
Higher predisposition than average

What this actually is

The PNPLA3 (patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 3) gene encodes a protein called adiponutrin with key roles in lipid metabolism.

Adiponutrin helps regulate the development of fatty cells and the production and breakdown of triglycerides in fatty and liver cells.

Omega-6:Omega-3 RatioIncreased need
Higher predisposition than average
From your Diet & Nutrition report
SodiumIncreased need
Higher predisposition than average

What this actually is

Table salt (sodium chloride) is the main of sodium in our diets.

However, 95% of the world’s population consumes between 3 and 6 g/day, which is much more than necessary [R, R].

From your Diet & Nutrition report
CopperIncreased need
Higher predisposition than average

What this actually is

Copper is an essential mineral.

It helps many enzymes function normally.

plays a role in energy production, heart function, blood pressure control, brain development, immune and nervous system function, and bone structure [R, R, R].

Where your genetics are working for you

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

Fats BreakdownBetter
Lower predisposition than average
From your Diet & Nutrition report
Salicylate SensitivityLess likely
Lower predisposition than average

What this actually is

Salicylates are a group of chemicals containing salicylic acid.

However, in people with salicylate sensitivity, they can cause inflammation and unpleasant symptoms.

From your Diet & Nutrition report
Eating DisordersLess likely
Lower predisposition than average

What this actually is

Eating disorders are mental health conditions that impact eating habits.

People with eating disorders have an unhealthy relationship with food, their weight, and the shape of their body.

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.

Amino Acids — Understanding the genetic predisposition for amino acid levels and needs is crucial for tailoring individual health and nutritional plans. This report delves into how genetic variations can influence the body's ability to absorb, produce, and use amino acids, potentially impacting overall

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.
