Understanding Your Family’s Risk for Inherited Eye Conditions
When vision problems run in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Many South Africans worry about passing genetic eye conditions to their children, not knowing if they carry the genes that could affect their family’s vision. Our NDP Gene Exudative Vitreoretinopathy Type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the answers you need to protect your family’s eye health with confidence and clarity.
What This Test Reveals About Your Eye Health
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the NDP gene, which plays a crucial role in retinal development and blood vessel formation in the eye. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to Exudative Vitreoretinopathy Type 2 – a serious condition where abnormal blood vessels develop in the retina, potentially causing bleeding, scarring, and vision loss. Using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we provide the most accurate analysis available, giving you and your ophthalmologist the precise information needed for proper management.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Eye Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Family history of unexplained vision loss or retinal disorders
- Children with abnormal eye development or vision concerns
- Multiple family members with similar eye conditions
- Planning for pregnancy with concerns about genetic eye diseases
- Unexplained retinal bleeding or vascular issues
Many South African families discover they carry genetic markers for eye conditions they never knew existed, allowing them to take proactive steps to protect their vision.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Vision
Knowing your genetic status provides powerful advantages for your eye health:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about your genetic risk factors
- Early Intervention: Detect potential issues before significant vision loss occurs
- Family Planning: Make informed decisions about starting a family
- Personalised Care: Work with your ophthalmologist on targeted monitoring and treatment
- Generational Protection: Break the cycle of inherited eye conditions in your family
