Pre Test Information
Prior to undergoing the POC1B Gene Cone-rod dystrophy type 20 NGS Genetic DNA Test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient. Additionally, a genetic counseling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by the POC1B Gene Cone-rod dystrophy type 20 NGS Genetic DNA Test gene (POC1B).
Test Details
The POC1B gene is associated with cone-rod dystrophy type 20 (CORD20), a rare genetic disorder that causes progressive vision loss, particularly in the central vision, color vision, and sensitivity to light. This disorder affects the retina of the eye. The POC1B gene is responsible for the production of a protein that plays a role in the formation of cilia, which are tiny hair-like structures that help cells sense their environment.
Mutations in the POC1B gene can disrupt the formation and function of cilia, leading to the development of CORD20. The NGS genetic testing offered by DNA Labs UAE can identify these mutations by sequencing the entire DNA sequence of the POC1B gene. This information can help diagnose CORD20 and provide insight into the underlying genetic cause of the disorder.
The results of the test can also be used for genetic counseling and family planning decisions.

The POC1B gene is associated with cone-rod dystrophy type 20 (CORD20), a rare genetic disorder that affects the retina of the eye. This disorder causes progressive vision loss, particularly in the central vision, color vision, and sensitivity to light. The POC1B gene provides instructions for making a protein that plays a role in the formation of cilia, which are tiny hair-like structures that help cells sense their environment. Mutations in the POC1B gene can disrupt the formation and function of cilia, leading to the development of CORD20. NGS genetic testing is a diagnostic tool that can identify mutations in the POC1B gene. This test involves sequencing the entire DNA sequence of the gene to identify any changes or variations that may be present. This information can help diagnose CORD20 and provide insight into the underlying genetic cause of the disorder. It can also be used to inform genetic counseling and family planning decisions. |
