Understanding Your Genetic Risk for Cone-Rod Dystrophy
When vision changes begin to affect your daily life, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Many South Africans facing progressive vision loss wonder if their condition is hereditary and what it means for their family’s future. Our CD3G Gene Cone-Rod Dystrophy Type 17 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need with compassion and clinical excellence.
What This Test Reveals About Your Vision Health
Cone-rod dystrophy type 17 is an inherited retinal disorder that gradually affects your central and colour vision, often starting with difficulty seeing in dim light and progressing to more significant vision challenges. The CD3G gene plays a crucial role in retinal function, and specific mutations can lead to this condition. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with 99.9% accuracy to identify whether you carry these genetic variations.
Is This Test Right for You?
Consider this genetic test if you experience:
- Progressive vision loss, especially in central or colour vision
- Difficulty seeing in low light or night blindness
- Family history of inherited retinal disorders
- Unexplained vision changes that concern you or your ophthalmologist

Many patients from Johannesburg to Cape Town find relief in knowing their genetic status, allowing for better planning and proactive eye care.
