Genetic testing, also known as DNA testing, is used to identify changes in DNA sequence or chromosome structure. Genetic testing can also include measuring the results of genetic changes.
Eye health is one of the most important aspects of a healthy life. Numerous people suffer eye problems, and the number is growing day by day owing to several factors, including nutritional deficiency, excess use of screens, increased stress levels, pollution, changing lifestyles, and lack of physical activity, etc. But did you know most rare retinal diseases such as Stargardt disease, retinitis pigmentosa, choroideremia, and Usher syndrome are inherited and typically caused by one or more defects in a single gene??
Are you aware that understanding your family history can also be crucial to leading a healthy life?
Genetics plays a key role in overall health and in developing many medical disorders, including those that impact vision and eye health. Numerous eye disorders are genetic and ‘run in families.’ In other words, many genetic eye diseases are passed on directly from parents to their children by genes. With advancements in technology and increased understanding of the genome, it is now possible to predict the risk of an eye problem using genetic testing for eye disorders. Genetic eye testing can be a boon for people with a family history of eye diseases.
Role of DNA Test in eye health
A DNA Test is one of the most precise, effective, and reliable ways to deal with IRDs effectually. Such tests enable your eye care experts to predict the likelihood of hereditary eye disease and, thus, plan the treatment well in advance.
