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.
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.
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.

Practice yoga for at least 20 to 30 minutes a day, most days of the week.
Avoid Cannabis Stop any form of cannabis use, including smoking, vaping, edibles, and topical applications.
Visit a licensed acupuncturist for a session, typically lasting between 30 to 60 minutes, once or twice a week.

Replace them with natural sugars found in fruits and whole grains.
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.
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 80 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.

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.

The pancreas is an organ located behind the stomach that releases crucial enzymes for carbs and fats digestion.
Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, which can be acute or chronic.
Potential risk factors for pancreatitis include [R, R, R]: Alcohol Cigarette smoking Obesity High blood lipids Certain medications Genetics Genetically predicted higher fasting insulin may be associated with acute and chronic pancreas inflammation.

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.

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.

About 2% of Americans have psoriasis, mostly appearing in younger and older adults.
Even though the condition is rare, people with high genetic risk should understand and be wary of potential triggers.

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.
