MYOC Gene Glaucoma open angle type 1A Genetic Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the MYOC Gene Glaucoma open angle type 1A Genetic Test for individuals who are at risk of developing open-angle glaucoma. This test can help identify mutations in the MYOC gene that may increase the risk of developing this specific type of glaucoma.
Test Details
The MYOC gene is associated with the development of glaucoma, specifically open-angle type 1A. This type of glaucoma is characterized by an increase in intraocular pressure due to a blockage in the drainage system of the eye, leading to damage to the optic nerve and potential vision loss.
NGS genetic testing, using Next-Generation Sequencing technology, can identify mutations in the MYOC gene that may increase the risk of developing open-angle glaucoma. This test can help individuals with a family history of glaucoma or those who are at risk due to other factors to understand their risk and take steps to prevent or manage the condition.
Early detection and treatment of open-angle glaucoma can help prevent vision loss and improve outcomes. NGS genetic testing can be an important tool in identifying individuals at risk and guiding appropriate management and treatment.

Pre Test Information
Before undergoing the MYOC Gene Glaucoma open angle type 1A Genetic Test, it is important to provide a clinical history of the patient who is going for the test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session may be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected with MYOC Gene Glaucoma, open angle type 1A NGS Genetic DNA Test gene MYOC.
Understanding the patient’s clinical history and family background can provide valuable insights into the risk factors and potential genetic inheritance of glaucoma.
