Overview
The purpose of this test is to identify the underlying genetic cause of ophthalmic disorders. This can aid in confirming a clinical diagnosis, determining prognosis, guiding management and treatment options, and enabling genetic counseling for at-risk family members. It may also help in identifying candidates for gene-specific clinical trials or emerging therapies.

Test Parameters & Specifications
Sample Stability
- Hemolyzed or clotted sample
- Incorrect labeling
- Sample received after prolonged transit time without proper storage
Understanding Your Results
Positive (Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic)
Confirms the genetic diagnosis. Genetic counseling is recommended for the patient and family members.
Negative
No disease-causing variants detected. Consider other genetic or non-genetic causes.
Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS)
A variant with unknown clinical significance. Further testing or family studies may be needed.
If you have a family history of inherited eye disease, experience unexplained vision problems, or have received a clinical diagnosis of an ophthalmic disorder, consult an ophthalmologist or geneticist to discuss genetic testing.
Limitations
- ⚠This panel does not detect all possible genetic causes of eye disorders; some genes may not be included.
- ⚠Large deletions/duplications may not be reliably detected by NGS alone.
- ⚠Variants of uncertain significance (VUS) may be reported; further testing may be needed.
- ⚠Negative results do not rule out a genetic cause; other testing may be recommended.
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minimal risk of bruising or bleeding at the puncture site
- ●Rare risk of infection
- ●Psychological impact of genetic results
Interfering Factors
- ●Contaminated or hemolyzed blood sample
- ●Insufficient DNA quantity or quality
- ●Recent blood transfusion (within 2 weeks) may dilute patient DNA
- ●Bone marrow transplantation can affect results
