Find Clarity for Unusual Eye Movements with CHN1 Gene Testing
When your eyes don’t move as they should, it can be confusing and concerning. Duane Retraction Syndrome affects eye movement coordination, often causing double vision, head tilting, or difficulty looking sideways. Our CHN1 Gene DNA Test provides the answers you’ve been searching for, using cutting-edge genetic technology to identify the root cause of these eye movement challenges.
Understanding Your CHN1 Gene Test
This specialised genetic test examines the CHN1 gene, which plays a crucial role in controlling eye muscle development and coordination. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic testing – we analyse your DNA with exceptional accuracy to detect mutations that cause Duane Retraction Syndrome.
The test is completely safe and requires only a small blood sample or a simple finger-prick blood spot on an FTA card. Our genetic counsellors work with you to understand your family history, creating a comprehensive picture of your genetic inheritance patterns.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is essential if you or your child experiences:
- Limited ability to move eyes sideways (especially outward)
- Double vision or blurred vision when looking to the side
- Unusual head tilting or turning to see clearly
- Eyes that appear to retract or narrow when looking sideways
- Family history of similar eye movement issues
- Diagnosis of Duane Syndrome but wanting genetic confirmation
Many South African families have found answers through this testing, gaining clarity about inherited eye conditions that may affect multiple generations.
