Take Control of Your Vision Health with Advanced Genetic Testing
Are you experiencing night blindness, tunnel vision, or noticing gradual changes in your eyesight? These could be early signs of Retinitis Pigmentosa, an inherited condition that affects thousands of South Africans. We understand the anxiety that comes with vision concerns – the worry about your future independence, your ability to work, and your quality of life. That’s why we’ve created this comprehensive genetic test to give you the answers and peace of mind you deserve.
Understanding Your Retinitis Pigmentosa Genetic Test
Our Next Generation Sequencing test is a sophisticated genetic analysis that examines over 60 genes known to be associated with Retinitis Pigmentosa and related inherited retinal diseases. Using cutting-edge NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology combined with Sanger sequencing verification, we provide the most accurate and comprehensive genetic profile available in South Africa today.
The test specifically analyses genes including RHO, RPGR, USH2A, PRPF31, and many others that play crucial roles in retinal function and health. This isn’t just a simple screening – it’s a detailed genetic investigation that can identify the specific genetic variations responsible for your vision concerns.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Difficulty seeing in low light or night blindness
- Gradual loss of peripheral vision (tunnel vision)
- Family history of inherited eye conditions
- Concerns about passing vision conditions to your children
- Unexplained vision changes despite normal eye exams
- Planning for family and wanting genetic clarity
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed genetic vision conditions for years. Early detection through genetic testing can make a significant difference in managing your eye health effectively.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Vision Health
Getting a genetic diagnosis provides more than just answers – it opens doors to better management and potential treatment options. With a confirmed genetic diagnosis:
- You can access targeted monitoring and specialist care
