Find Clarity About Inherited Cataracts in Your Family
When cataracts run in families, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You may worry about your children’s vision or wonder about your own genetic risk. Our TDRD7 Gene Cataract Test provides the definitive answers you need to protect your family’s eye health and plan for the future with confidence.
Understanding the TDRD7 Cataract Genetic Test
This specialised genetic test examines the TDRD7 gene, which plays a crucial role in preventing congenital cataracts. When this gene doesn’t function properly, it can lead to autosomal recessive congenital type 4 cataracts – meaning both parents must carry the gene variant for a child to be affected. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology provides the most accurate analysis available.
Who Should Consider This Test?
- Families with a history of childhood cataracts or early-onset vision problems
- Parents planning pregnancy who have cataract history in their family
- Individuals diagnosed with cataracts at a young age
- Couples concerned about passing genetic conditions to their children
- People with unexplained vision deterioration in childhood
If you’ve ever wondered “could this affect my children?” – this test provides the clarity you need.
