Inherited Ophthalmic & Vision Health
Many degenerative eye diseases progress silently before irreversible optic nerve or retinal damage occurs. This panel investigates genetic variants associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), juvenile and open-angle glaucoma, and inherited retinal dystrophies—enabling ophthalmologists to implement early vision-saving interventions and targeted antioxidant therapies.

Who Should Consider This Screening?
Healthcare providers recommend this diagnostic panel for individuals with the following personal or family health indicators:
Biomarkers & Genes Evaluated in this Panel
Processed using high-complexity Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) in CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited partner laboratories.
| Gene Symbol / Name | Clinical Significance | Actionable Impact |
|---|---|---|
| ABCA4 & BEST1Retinal ATP-Binding Cassette Transporters | Primary loci for Stargardt disease, vitelliform macular dystrophy, and inherited maculopathies. | Directs strict blue-light/UV protection, AREDS2 nutritional adjustments, and micro-perimetry tracking. |
| MYOC & OPTNMyocilin & Optineurin Trabecular Regulators | Associated with early-onset primary open-angle glaucoma and normal-tension glaucoma. | Guides proactive intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction protocols before visual field constriction occurs. |
| RPGR & RHORetinitis Pigmentosa GTPase & Rhodopsin Photoreceptors | Critical for rod and cone photoreceptor maintenance and dark adaptation. | Qualifies eligible patients for emerging gene therapy protocols and specialized low-vision rehabilitation. |
Sample Report & Diagnostic Action Plan
Every patient receives an easy-to-understand diagnostic summary and a detailed clinical report tailored for their primary care doctor.
High-risk susceptibility alleles detected in complement factor H (CFH) and ARMS2 macular risk loci.
Recommend semi-annual dilated retinal exams, Amsler grid self-monitoring, and initiating AREDS 2 formula antioxidant supplementation.
Clinical Care & Laboratory Standards
How our licensed physician network and accredited laboratories deliver personalized diagnostic clarity to your doorstep:
Physician-ordered ophthalmic genomic testing analyzes 20 retinal and trabecular biomarkers to detect early genetic risks for macular degeneration, glaucoma, and inherited vision loss.
