Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the C10ORF11 Gene Albinism oculocutaneous type 5 Genetic Test, it is important to provide the following:
- Clinical History of the patient
- A Genetic Counselling session to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with C10ORF11 Gene Albinism, oculocutaneous type 5 NGS Genetic DNA Test gene C10ORF11
Test Details
The C10ORF11 gene is associated with oculocutaneous albinism type 5 (OCA5), a rare genetic condition. OCA5 affects the eyes, skin, and hair, and is caused by mutations in the C10ORF11 gene. This gene provides instructions for producing a protein involved in melanin production, the pigment responsible for skin, hair, and eye color. The NGS genetic testing method is used to identify mutations in the C10ORF11 gene that cause OCA5. By sequencing the entire gene, this test can detect any changes or variations present. This helps diagnose OCA5 in individuals with symptoms such as light-colored skin, hair, and eyes, as well as reduced visual acuity. Additionally, genetic testing can identify carriers of the C10ORF11 gene mutation, providing valuable information for family planning and genetic counseling. While there is no cure for OCA5, treatment primarily focuses on symptom management, such as using sunscreen for sun protection and wearing corrective glasses or contact lenses for vision problems.

| Test Details | The C10ORF11 gene is associated with a rare genetic condition called oculocutaneous albinism type 5 (OCA5). OCA5 is a form of albinism that affects the eyes, skin, and hair. It is caused by mutations in the C10ORF11 gene, which provides instructions for making a protein that is involved in the production of melanin, the pigment that gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes. NGS (next-generation sequencing) genetic testing can detect mutations in the C10ORF11 gene that cause OCA5. This test involves sequencing the entire gene to identify any changes or variations that may be present. This can help diagnose OCA5 in individuals with symptoms of the condition, such as light-colored skin, hair, and eyes, and reduced visual acuity. Genetic testing can also be used to identify carriers of the C10ORF11 gene mutation, which can help with family planning and genetic counseling. Treatment for OCA5 is primarily focused on managing symptoms, such as using sunscreen to protect the skin from sun damage and wearing glasses or contact lenses to correct vision problems. |
