CRX Gene Cone-Rod Dystrophy Type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test

Understanding Your Vision Health Concerns

When you notice changes in your vision – whether it’s difficulty seeing in dim light, challenges distinguishing colours, or gradual central vision loss – it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. These symptoms could indicate CRX Gene Cone-Rod Dystrophy Type 2, an inherited retinal condition that affects the light-sensitive cells in your eyes. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the anxiety that comes with potential vision disorders, and we’re here to provide the clarity and answers you need through our specialised genetic testing.

What Our CRX Gene Test Detects

Our advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology examines the CRX gene for specific mutations that cause Cone-Rod Dystrophy Type 2. This condition primarily affects the cone and rod photoreceptor cells in your retina, leading to progressive vision loss that typically begins in childhood or early adulthood. The test provides definitive information about whether you carry the genetic variations responsible for this condition, giving you and your ophthalmologist crucial insights for managing your eye health.

Who Should Consider This Important Test

This genetic test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:

• Progressive difficulty with night vision or seeing in dim light
• Challenges distinguishing between colours, especially blues and yellows
• Gradual loss of central vision affecting reading and detail recognition
• Family history of inherited retinal diseases or vision disorders
• Unexplained vision changes that haven’t been diagnosed through routine eye exams
• Planning for family and wanting to understand genetic risks

Why Early Detection Matters for Your Vision Health

Getting tested for CRX Gene Cone-Rod Dystrophy provides several crucial benefits:

• Early Intervention: Identify the condition before significant vision loss occurs
• Family Planning: Understand genetic risks for future generations
• Personalised Management: Work with your ophthalmologist on targeted treatment strategies
• Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about your genetic status
• Research Opportunities: Potentially participate in clinical trials for emerging treatments

Understanding Your Test Results

We make understanding your results straightforward and supportive. Our genetic counsellors will walk you through your report, explaining what the findings mean for your vision health and any implications for family members. Whether your results show a positive mutation or provide reassuring negative findings, you’ll receive comprehensive guidance on next steps and management options with your ophthalmologist.
