Test Overview & Methodology
The CD3G Gene Cone-Rod Dystrophy Type 17 DNA Test uses Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) to detect diseaseโcausing variants in the CD3G gene โ the primary genetic cause of coneโrod dystrophy type 17. This targeted panel delivers a clinically actionable result for ophthalmologists and genetic counsellors, enabling early diagnosis, intervention planning, and recurrence risk assessment. The methodology includes targeted enrichment of the CD3G coding region followed by paired-end sequencing on the Illumina platform, with all pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants confirmed via Sanger sequencing.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
โAs a Consultant Medical Genetics with experience in inherited retinal dystrophies, I recommend this targeted NGS test for patients presenting with early-onset cone-rod dysfunction. The results must be interpreted within the full clinical context, including detailed ophthalmic phenotype and family pedigree. Genetic findings alone are not diagnostic; always consult a DHA-licensed ophthalmologist or genetic counsellor before making clinical decisions.โ

Advisory โ Medication Warning
Do not discontinue any prescribed medication or supplement without first consulting your treating physician. This genetic test provides diagnostic insight and does not replace ongoing clinical management. All medication decisions must be guided by your healthcare provider.
Patient Safety โ Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
Exclusion Criteria for Home Blood Collection: Known bleeding disorder (e.g., haemophilia A/B), current anticoagulant therapy without physician clearance, active infection at venipuncture site, or history of severe vasovagal reactions. Our DHA-licensed phlebotomist will verify medical history upon arrival.
Seek Immediate Medical Attention if: You experience persistent bleeding, expanding haematoma, chest pain, or fainting after collection. For emergencies, dial 998 or visit the nearest DHA-licensed emergency department.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the CD3G gene test used for?
The CD3G gene test identifies mutations causing cone-rod dystrophy type 17, enabling a precise molecular diagnosis. The assay screens the entire CD3G coding region via NGS, providing a definitive answer for prognosis, gene-therapy eligibility, and family recurrence risk.
2. How is the sample collected?
Our DHA-certified home phlebotomist collects a blood drop on an FTA card, ensuring a painless and stable sample. A simple finger prick or standard venipuncture is performed in your home. The sample is stabilised on an FTA card, maintaining DNA integrity until processed in our ISO 9001:2015 laboratory.
3. What is the turnaround time?
Results are delivered within 3 to 4 weeks, sent securely via encrypted email and a DHA-compliant patient portal. After sample receipt, NGS sequencing, analysis, and clinical interpretation are completed within 21โ28 days. Our genetic counsellor will contact you to schedule a teleconsultation upon result release.
