Protect Your Vision from Hereditary Glaucoma
If you’ve watched family members struggle with glaucoma and worry about your own eye health, you’re not alone. The uncertainty of whether you’ve inherited the WDR36 gene mutation can create constant anxiety about your vision future. Our specialised genetic test gives you the answers you need to take control of your eye health and protect your precious sight.
Understanding Your WDR36 Glaucoma Genetic Test
This advanced genetic test specifically examines the WDR36 gene, which plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy eye pressure and preventing open-angle glaucoma type 1G. Using cutting-edge Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, we analyse your DNA with exceptional accuracy to identify any mutations that could put you at risk for this hereditary form of glaucoma.
Unlike standard eye exams that detect existing damage, this genetic test identifies your risk before symptoms appear, giving you the power to prevent vision loss rather than just manage it.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Family history of glaucoma, especially in multiple generations
- Concerns about hereditary eye conditions
- Early signs of vision changes or pressure concerns
- Planning for family and wanting to understand genetic risks
- Unexplained vision issues despite normal eye exams
Many South Africans with European ancestry may carry this genetic risk without knowing it, making early detection crucial for preserving vision.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Vision Health
Knowing your genetic status transforms how you approach eye care:
- Proactive Prevention: Start protective treatments before irreversible damage occurs
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate the anxiety of not knowing your genetic risk
- Family Planning: Make informed decisions about genetic risks for future generations
- Personalised Care: Receive targeted monitoring and treatment based on your specific genetic profile
- Cost Savings: Prevent expensive vision loss treatments through early intervention

- Clear Explanation: Our genetic counsellors explain your results in plain language
- Action Plan: Receive specific recommendations based on your genetic findings
- Family Guidance: Learn what your results mean for your relatives
- Ongoing Support: Access to follow-up consultations and monitoring guidance
