UNC119 Gene Cone-rod dystrophy Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the UNC119 Gene Cone-rod dystrophy Genetic Test to diagnose cone-rod dystrophy, a rare genetic disorder that affects the retina of the eye. This test analyzes the UNC119 gene, which is crucial for the normal functioning of the retina.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Cone-rod dystrophy is a progressive disorder that typically begins in childhood or adolescence. Common symptoms include difficulty seeing in bright light, loss of color vision, and difficulty seeing at night. To diagnose cone-rod dystrophy, our team of ophthalmologists will conduct a thorough examination and collect a clinical history of the patient.
Test Details
The UNC119 gene cone-rod dystrophy NGS genetic test utilizes next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology. It involves analyzing a sample of blood or extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA card. The test identifies any changes or mutations in the UNC119 gene associated with cone-rod dystrophy. The results of this test are typically delivered within 3 to 4 weeks.
Test Cost
The cost of the UNC119 Gene Cone-rod dystrophy Genetic Test is AED 4400.0.
Test Department and Doctor
This genetic test is conducted in our Genetics department and is overseen by our experienced ophthalmologists.
Pre-Test Information
Prior to the test, a genetic counseling session is recommended. This session helps gather a complete clinical history of the patient and draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the UNC119 Gene Cone-rod dystrophy NGS Genetic DNA Test gene UNC119.
Treatment and Management
Once the UNC119 gene cone-rod dystrophy NGS genetic test confirms the diagnosis, our team of doctors can provide appropriate treatment and management strategies. Treatment options may include vision aids, low vision rehabilitation, and gene therapy.

Test Details |
UNC119 gene cone-rod dystrophy NGS genetic test is a type of genetic test that is used to diagnose cone-rod dystrophy, a rare genetic disorder that affects the retina of the eye. The test analyzes the UNC119 gene, which provides instructions for making a protein that is essential for the normal functioning of the retina. Cone-rod dystrophy is a progressive disorder that affects the cone cells and rod cells in the retina, leading to a loss of vision. The symptoms of the disorder usually begin in childhood or adolescence and include difficulty seeing in bright light, loss of color vision, and difficulty seeing at night. The UNC119 gene cone-rod dystrophy NGS genetic test is a next-generation sequencing (NGS) test that can identify changes or mutations in the UNC119 gene that are associated with cone-rod dystrophy. The test involves analyzing a sample of DNA from the patient’s blood or saliva to identify any genetic changes that may be causing the disorder. The results of the UNC119 gene cone-rod dystrophy NGS genetic test can help doctors diagnose the disorder and provide appropriate treatment and management strategies. Treatment options for cone-rod dystrophy may include vision aids, low vision rehabilitation, and gene therapy. |
