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.
Nerve Health — Nerve health plays a vital role in overall well-being, affecting everything from movement and sensation to cognition and emotional balance. Genetics can significantly influence an individual's susceptibility to various nerve-related conditions, impacting both the peripheral and central
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.
Engage in strength training exercises, such as weight lifting or bodyweight exercises, for 60 minutes per session, TA 2 to 3 times per week.
Practice yoga for at least 20 to 30 minutes a day, most days of the week.
Engage in dance activities for at least 30 minutes, three times per week.
Do not use TENS on damaged or infected skin or on sensitive areas of the body.
Practice Tai Chi for 30 to 60 minutes at least twice a week.
Drink 1 to 3 cups of black coffee daily, preferably in the morning to minimize potential sleep disturbances.
Limit red meat to a few times a month and include a moderate amount of dairy products.
Limit outdoor exercise when air pollution warnings are issued, opting for indoor activities instead.
Engage in music therapy sessions for at least 30 minutes a day, three times a week.
Incorporate at least 30 minutes of brisk walking into your daily routine, aiming for a minimum of five days a week.
Visit a licensed acupuncturist for a session, typically lasting between 30 to 60 minutes, once or twice a week.
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 30 results in this package, these 5 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.
Diagnosing facial approach that can otolaryngologists, comprehensively and strategies could blocks, or surgery, For instance, sudden, severe resulting from Psychological also play pivotal the need for a plan.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
Eyelid drooping is excess sagging of the upper eyelid.
The eyelid may be sitting lower than it should (ptosis) or drooping due to loose or excess skin (dermatochalasis).
About 60% of the differences in people’s eyelid drooping may be due to genetics.
The severity of a tremor can vary, from a slight quiver that is essentially a cosmetic concern to a more severe disruption that can impair one's ability to perform daily tasks.
can be classified by its appearance and cause or its origin.
There are several forms of tremor, including essential tremor, parkinsonian tremor, and dystonic tremor, each with distinctive features and patterns.
Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.
Key Takeaways: About 20-40% of the differences in people's chances to develop Parkinson's disease may be due to genetics.
Other risk factors include age (over 60), being male, and toxin exposure.
PD is an underdiagnosed disease, with about 90,000 diagnosed each year in the U.S.
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.
Not everything in a genetic report is a warning. These came back protective or better than average.
Mild cognitive decline is a normal part of aging that can affect cognitive functions such as memory, attention, and problem-solving.
About 60-70% of the differences in people’s cognitive decline may come from genetics.
For example, genetically high total and bioavailable testosterone may be causally associated with larger gray matter volume in men [R, R, R].
Living with aphasia can be challenging, not only for those affected but also for their family and friends.
It often leads to social isolation and frustration due to the barriers it creates in everyday communication.
Therapy for aphasia primarily involves speech and language exercises that aim to improve the individual's ability to Less likely to have communicate.
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.
