Take Control of Your Family’s Eye Health with TSPAN12 Genetic Testing
When hereditary eye conditions run in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Many South Africans worry about passing vision problems to their children or developing serious retinal conditions themselves. Our TSPAN12 Gene Exudative Vitreoretinopathy Type 5 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to make informed decisions about your family’s eye health.
Understanding Your TSPAN12 Genetic Test
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the TSPAN12 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic analysis. The TSPAN12 gene plays a crucial role in retinal development, and mutations in this gene can lead to Exudative Vitreoretinopathy Type 5, a serious condition affecting the retina and vitreous humour of the eye.
Unlike basic screenings, our comprehensive analysis provides definitive information about your genetic risk, helping you and your ophthalmologist develop proactive management strategies.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Eye Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Family history of retinal detachment or vitreoretinal disorders
- Unexplained vision loss in multiple family members
- Diagnosis of familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR)
- Planning for pregnancy with known family eye conditions
- Children showing early signs of retinal problems
- Multiple family members requiring retinal surgeries
Early genetic testing can be life-changing for families in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and across South Africa who have been living with uncertainty about hereditary eye conditions.

- Early Intervention: Identify at-risk family members before symptoms develop
