Understanding Your Risk for Early Onset Glaucoma
When glaucoma runs in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You may worry about your vision, your children’s future eye health, or whether you’ve inherited the genetic markers that could lead to early onset glaucoma. The COL15A1 Gene Early Onset Glaucoma Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to take control of your eye health journey.
What This Test Detects
This advanced genetic test specifically examines variations in the COL15A1 gene, which acts as a phenotype modifier for early onset glaucoma. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA to identify specific genetic markers that can influence how glaucoma develops and progresses in individuals with genetic predisposition.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Family history of early onset glaucoma (before age 40)
- Multiple family members with glaucoma diagnosis
- Early symptoms like peripheral vision loss or increased eye pressure
- Planning for family and concerned about genetic inheritance
- Unexplained vision changes at a young age
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Vision Health
Identifying COL15A1 gene variations early provides significant advantages:
- Proactive Management: Early detection allows for timely intervention and monitoring
- Personalised Treatment: Understanding your genetic profile helps ophthalmologists tailor your care
- Family Planning Insights: Knowledge about genetic risks informs family health decisions
- Peace of Mind: Either ruling out genetic risk or having a clear management plan reduces anxiety
