Understanding Your Risk for Choroideremia: Take Control of Your Vision Health
If you’re worried about inherited vision conditions or have a family history of choroideremia, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face uncertainty about their genetic risk for progressive vision loss. Our CHM Gene Choroideremia NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve, helping you make informed decisions about your eye health and family planning.
What This Test Detects
The CHM Gene Choroideremia NGS Genetic DNA Test uses advanced Next Generation Sequencing technology to identify mutations in the CHM gene that cause choroideremia. This inherited condition leads to progressive vision loss, typically starting in childhood or early adulthood. By detecting these genetic changes early, you can take proactive steps to preserve your vision and plan for the future.
Our test examines the entire CHM gene with 99.9% accuracy, providing you with reliable results you can trust for making important health decisions.

- Individuals with symptoms of night blindness or difficulty seeing in low light
- People experiencing gradual loss of peripheral (side) vision
- Those with a family history of choroideremia or inherited retinal diseases
- Parents concerned about passing genetic conditions to their children
- Individuals planning pregnancy who want genetic screening
- Anyone with unexplained vision changes wanting comprehensive answers
If you’re experiencing any vision concerns or have family members affected by eye conditions, this test can provide the answers you need.
