About this report

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.

What each result group means

Worth a conversation with your doctor
These came back with a higher genetic predisposition than most people. That is not a diagnosis — it means these are the ones worth raising at your next appointment.
Running above the typical range
Your genetics point to these sitting higher than average. Often useful to know, sometimes worth monitoring.
Running below the typical range
Your genetics point to these sitting lower than average. Same idea — context, not alarm.
Working in your favour
Good news. Your genetics look protective or better than average here.
In line with most people
Nothing unusual. These were tested and came back typical — worth having on record.

Your results at a glance

How to read this. A result being flagged does not mean you have a condition — it means your genetics put you above or below the average person for that trait. Of the 30 results here, 5 came back worth discussing with a clinician and 2 came back in your favour. Bring this document to your appointment.

What this package looks at

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

What you can actually do

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.

Your headline findings

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.

Facial PainMore likely
Higher predisposition than 98% of people
Your risk is greater than 98% of the population and lower than 2% of the population.

What this actually is

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.

What you can do

  • Acupuncture
    Visit a licensed acupuncturist for a session, typically lasting between 30 to 60 minutes, once or twice a week.
  • Avoid Phthalate Exposure
    Aim to make these changes consistently in your daily life for long-term health benefits.

From your Nerve Health report
Droopy EyelidsMore likely
More likely to have droopy eyelids based on 240,468 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 97% of the population and lower than 3% of the population.

What this actually is

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.

From your Nerve Health report
TremorMore likely
More likely to have tremors based on 26,737 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 82% of the population and lower than 18% of the population.

What this actually is

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.

What you can do

  • Tai Chi
    Practice Tai Chi for 30 to 60 minutes at least twice a week.

Ask your clinician about

  • Ginkgo
  • Magnesium

Named only. Marrow gives no dose and does not recommend these.

From your Nerve Health report
Parkinson's DiseaseMore likely
More likely to get Parkinson's disease based on 1,031,982 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 70% of the population and lower than 30% of the population.

What this actually is

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.

What you can do

  • Strength Training
    Engage in strength training exercises, such as weight lifting or bodyweight exercises, for 60 minutes per session, TA 2 to 3 times per week.
  • Yoga 30 minutes
    Practice yoga for at least 20 to 30 minutes a day, most days of the week.
  • Dance 30 minutes
    Engage in dance activities for at least 30 minutes, three times per week.
From your Nerve Health report
Diabetic NeuropathyMore likely
More likely to have diabetic neuropathy based on 1,658 genetic variants we looked at

What this actually is

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.

What you can do

  • Strength Training
    Engage in strength training exercises, such as weight lifting or bodyweight exercises, for 60 minutes per session, TA 2 to 3 times per week.
  • Walking 30 minutes
    Incorporate at least 30 minutes of brisk walking into your daily routine, aiming for a minimum of five days a week.

Where your genetics are working for you

Not everything in a genetic report is a warning. These came back protective or better than average.

Cognitive DeclineLess likely
Less likely to have cognitive decline based on 272,168 genetic variants we looked at
Your risk is greater than 1% of the population and lower than 99% of the population.

What this actually is

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].

From your Nerve Health report
Speech DisorderLess likely
Lower predisposition than 86% of people
Your result sits lower than 86% of the population.

What this actually is

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.

What to do with this

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.

Methodology

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.

Limitations

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.
