Nx GEN SEQUENCING CORNEAL DYSTROPHY Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Nx GEN SEQUENCING CORNEAL DYSTROPHY Test to help diagnose and manage corneal dystrophy. This genetic test analyzes a person’s DNA to identify mutations in specific genes known to cause corneal dystrophy.
Test Details
Corneal dystrophy is an inherited eye disorder that affects the cornea and can cause vision problems. There are different types of corneal dystrophy, each caused by a unique genetic mutation. The Nx Gen sequencing test can accurately identify these mutations, providing valuable information for diagnosis and treatment.

Test Price
The cost of the Nx GEN SEQUENCING CORNEAL DYSTROPHY Test is AED 5730.0.
Sample Condition
To perform the test, we require a minimum of 5 mL and a maximum of 10 mL of whole blood collected in 2 Lavender Top (EDTA) tubes. The sample should be shipped refrigerated and must not be frozen. Additionally, a duly filled Whole Exome Sequencing Consent Form (Form 37) is mandatory.
Report Delivery
The sample should be submitted daily by 9 am, and the report will be delivered within 45 working days.
Method
The Nx GEN SEQUENCING CORNEAL DYSTROPHY Test utilizes Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) and Sanger sequencing methods to analyze the DNA samples.
Test Type
The Nx GEN SEQUENCING CORNEAL DYSTROPHY Test is specifically designed for diagnosing Corneal Dystrophy.
Referring Doctor
This test is recommended for patients with corneal dystrophy and should be referred by an Ophthalmologist.
Test Department
The Nx GEN SEQUENCING CORNEAL DYSTROPHY Test is conducted in our Molecular Diagnostics department.
Pre Test Information
A duly filled Whole Exome Sequencing Consent Form (Form 37) is mandatory before undergoing the test.
About Corneal Dystrophy
Corneal dystrophy is a group of inherited eye disorders that cause cloudiness in the cornea, leading to vision problems. Different types of corneal dystrophy are caused by specific genetic mutations. By identifying these mutations through Nx Gen sequencing, doctors can provide more accurate diagnoses, predict disease progression, and develop personalized treatment plans. The Nx GEN SEQUENCING CORNEAL DYSTROPHY Test is an invaluable tool for both patients and doctors in managing this condition.

Test Details | Corneal dystrophy is a group of inherited eye disorders that cause the cornea to become cloudy and affect vision. There are several types of corneal dystrophy, each caused by a different genetic mutation. Nx Gen sequencing is a type of genetic testing that can identify these mutations. The test involves analyzing a person’s DNA to look for changes or mutations in the genes that are known to cause corneal dystrophy. By identifying the specific genetic mutation causing a person’s corneal dystrophy, doctors can provide more accurate diagnosis, better predict disease progression, and develop personalized treatment plans. Overall, Nx Gen sequencing for corneal dystrophy is a valuable tool for both patients and doctors in managing this condition. |
