Protect Your Child’s Vision: RB1 Retinoblastoma Genetic Testing
As a parent, the thought of your child facing eye cancer is terrifying. Retinoblastoma is a rare but serious eye cancer that primarily affects young children, and when it runs in families, early detection becomes critical. Our RB1 Gene Hereditary Retinoblastoma NGS Genetic DNA Test gives you the power to know your family’s genetic risk and take proactive steps to protect your child’s vision and health.
Understanding the RB1 Retinoblastoma DNA Test
This advanced genetic test examines the RB1 gene using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology – the gold standard in genetic testing. The RB1 gene acts as a tumour suppressor, and when mutations occur, it can lead to retinoblastoma development. Our test provides comprehensive analysis of this critical gene with 99.9% accuracy, giving you reliable results you can trust for making important healthcare decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important for families with:
- Children showing unusual eye symptoms like white pupil reflex in photos
- Family history of retinoblastoma or eye cancer
- Parents concerned about hereditary cancer risks
- Children with vision problems or eye abnormalities
- Families planning future pregnancies with known RB1 mutations
Early genetic testing can mean the difference between preserving vision and permanent vision loss.

Genetic testing for retinoblastoma offers life-changing benefits:
- Early Intervention: Detect genetic risk before symptoms appear
- Vision Preservation: Enable timely treatment to save eyesight
- Family Planning: Make informed decisions about future children
