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.
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.
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.
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].
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].
Not everything in a genetic report is a warning. These came back protective or better than average.
Salicylates are a group of chemicals containing salicylic acid.
However, in people with salicylate sensitivity, they can cause inflammation and unpleasant symptoms.
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.
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.
