Test Details
The NHS Gene Cataract, X-linked NGS Genetic Test is a genetic test that analyzes the DNA sequence of the X chromosome to identify mutations that are associated with cataracts. Cataracts are a common cause of vision loss and occur when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy.
X-linked cataracts are caused by mutations in genes on the X chromosome and are inherited in a recessive manner, meaning that a person must inherit two copies of the mutated gene to develop the condition.
This test can help diagnose X-linked cataracts in individuals with a family history of the condition or those who have symptoms of cataracts. It can also be used for carrier testing in individuals who may be at risk of passing the mutation on to their children.
The test uses next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to analyze the entire coding region of the genes associated with X-linked cataracts. Results of the test can help guide clinical management and genetic counseling.
