Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Fish Eye Disease
If you’ve noticed unusual eye changes or have family members with Fish Eye Disease, we understand the concern and uncertainty you may be feeling. Our LCAT Gene NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and answers you deserve, using the most advanced genetic technology available in South Africa.
What This Test Detects
The LCAT gene plays a crucial role in cholesterol metabolism in your eyes. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to Fish Eye Disease – a condition where cholesterol builds up in the cornea, creating a distinctive cloudy appearance. Our NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology examines your LCAT gene with exceptional precision, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could affect your eye health.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Gradual clouding or haziness in your vision
- Family history of Fish Eye Disease or similar eye conditions
- Unexplained corneal changes detected during eye examinations
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to children
- Early signs of vision changes without clear cause
Many South Africans with European ancestry may have higher risk factors, making early detection especially valuable.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Discovering LCAT gene mutations early provides significant advantages:
- Peace of Mind: Either confirm your genetic status or rule out concerns
- Proactive Management: Work with healthcare providers to monitor and manage symptoms
- Family Planning: Make informed decisions about genetic risks for future generations
- Treatment Planning: Early detection allows for timely intervention strategies
- Reduced Anxiety: Replace uncertainty with clear understanding and action plans
