Take Control of Your Vision Health with PROM1 Gene Testing
When vision problems run in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You worry about your own eyesight and what the future might hold for your children. Our PROM1 Gene Cone-Rod Dystrophy Type 12 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to make informed decisions about your eye health and family planning.
Understanding Your PROM1 Gene Test
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the PROM1 gene, which plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy retinal cells. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to cone-rod dystrophy – a progressive condition that affects both central and peripheral vision. Using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we provide the most accurate analysis available, giving you reliable results you can trust for important health decisions.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Progressive vision loss, especially difficulty with colour vision or central vision
- Family history of inherited retinal diseases or cone-rod dystrophy
- Night blindness that seems to be worsening over time
- Planning a family and concerned about passing on eye conditions
- Unexplained vision changes that multiple eye examinations haven’t clarified
Many South Africans with family histories of vision problems find peace of mind through genetic testing, allowing them to take proactive steps for their eye health.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Vision
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to:
- Access appropriate monitoring and early intervention strategies
- Make informed family planning decisions with genetic counselling support
- Participate in clinical trials and emerging treatments
- Reduce anxiety through clear understanding of your genetic risk
- Connect with support networks and resources specific to your condition
Early detection can significantly impact your quality of life and treatment options.
