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.
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.
Identify foods that trigger negative reactions in your body, such as digestive issues, allergies, or headaches, and eliminate them from your diet entirely.
Begin by removing foods you suspect might be causing adverse reactions for 2-3 weeks.
Aim to include foods like eggs, dairy products (such as cheese, yogurt, and milk), and soy-based foods in your meals regularly.
Expose your skin to direct sunlight for about 10-30 minutes several times per week, preferably during midday TA when the sun is strongest.
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 22 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.
Identifying and avoiding contact with the allergen is the most effective strategy to manage allergic contact dermatitis.
Some preventive measures that may help include: Protective clothing: Wearing gloves or other protective clothing can help prevent skin contact with allergens.
Careful product selection: Opting for hypoallergenic More likely to have products and carefully reading labels to avoid known based on 16,669 allergens.
Key Takeaways: Your genetics plays a factor in developing hives through inflammation signaling and histamine levels.
Chronic hives are more common in women.
Risk factors include previous allergic reactions and your genetics.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
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.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
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.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
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.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
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].
Not everything in a genetic report is a warning. These came back protective or better than average.
Management of allergic eye disease often involves a combination of treatments and preventive measures.
If symptoms persist or worsen, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider to ensure appropriate management and avoid complications.
Identifying and minimizing exposure to the allergens that trigger symptoms is the most important preventive measure.
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.
