Mold Sensitivity · Mold Sensitivity Genes
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.
Mold Sensitivity — Your body's response to mold exposure -whether through air or food -can vary significantly based on your genetic makeup. This report examines genetic variations affecting multiple systems involved in mold response: your immune system's recognition of mold particles, your detoxification
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.
Keep indoor humidity levels below 50% by using dehumidifiers or air conditioners, ensure proper ventilation in areas like bathrooms and kitchens, fix leaks promptly, and clean up any water damage within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth.
To avoid mycotoxins, store grains and nuts in a dry, cool place, check for mold on foods before eating, and avoid consuming products with visible mold.
Install an air purifier in your home, ideally in the rooms you spend the most time in, such as your bedroom and living room.
To avoid contact with dust, clean surfaces with a damp cloth at least twice a week, use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter regularly on carpets and upholstery, and avoid using feather dusters that disperse dust into the air.
Mold Sensitivity v2 Wear protective gloves and masks when using solvent-based products such as paint thinners, degreasers, or nail polish removers.
Check for moldy smells or discoloration in foods before eating, especially in peanuts, corn, and grains.
Limit your caffeine consumption to less than per day, equivalent to about two cups of coffee.
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 11 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.
A study of 1243 participants associated the ‘A’ allele of rs2056131 with a decreased sensitization to molds in people with asthma.
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.
