Test Details
Cataract is a common eye disease that causes clouding of the lens, leading to vision impairment or loss. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a powerful technology that can sequence large amounts of DNA or RNA in a short time and at a low cost. NGS can be used to identify genetic mutations or variations that may contribute to the development of cataract.
NGS-based cataract tests can analyze a panel of genes known to be associated with cataract, such as CRYAA, CRYAB, CRYBB1, CRYBB2, CRYGC, CRYGD, GJA3, GJA8, HSF4, and MAF. The test can detect single nucleotide variants (SNVs), small insertions or deletions (indels), and copy number variations (CNVs) in these genes.
NGS-based cataract tests can provide valuable information for diagnosis, prognosis, and personalized treatment of cataract. For example, if a patient has a pathogenic mutation in a cataract-associated gene, the doctor may recommend early screening and regular follow-up to monitor the progression of cataract. In some cases, genetic testing may also help identify family members who are at risk of developing cataract and provide genetic counseling.
