Eye Disorders- Ophthalmology

Eye Genetic Diseases

They represent more than one-third of the genetic diseases and syndromes known to affect humans:

  • Hereditary eye disorders are the leading cause of blindness among infants, children and adults.
  • More than 60% of cases of blindness among infants are caused by inherited eye diseases such as congenital cataracts, congenital glaucoma, retinal degeneration, optic atrophy, and eye malformations
  • In adults, cataract, glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration are three of the leading causes of blindness, and all appear to be inherited in a large portion of cases
  • Up to 40% of patients with certain types of strabismus have a family history of the disease

In most cases only the retina is clinically affected. Symptoms are characterized by night

blindness and slowly progressive loss of central vision from about the age of 20.


Hereditary eye disorders occur in several diseases with overlapping symptoms, such as

Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), Leber’s Congenital Amaurosis (LCA), Stargardt Disease, Usher Syndrome (USH), Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) and Senior-Løken Syndrome.


Early identification of individuals at risk can help establish the right clinical management

plan.

Who needs to get tested?

The presence of a particular ocular sign of a specific systemic disease is often the deciding factor in confirming the diagnosis of that disease. For example:


- Dislocated eye lens confirms Marfan’s syndrome

- Characteristic red spot in the eye is associated with Tay-Sachs diseases

- Blue sclera suggests Osteogenesis Imperfecta

- Aniridia indicates WAGR syndrome


  • Individuals with a standard preliminary test showing the possibility of an eye disorder
  • Individuals with a positive family history
  • Individuals without a positive family history but if any individuals in the family with symptoms resembling a specific disease condition
  • Prenatal testing is recommended only in families with affected individuals

How are results valuable to you and your family’s health?

Rapid advances in testing technologies have allowed clinicians to consider genetic testing upfront both to confirm the clinical diagnosis as well as to understand disease mechanisms. 


A confirmed diagnosis is the first step in management and allows discussion of measures to prevent recurrences (applicable only for monogenic disorders) both for the couple as well as their respective families.

Panels and Tests

Please reach us at contact@genatechs.com if you cannot find the test you are searching for. 


Due to advances in molecular genetics and sequencing methods, there has been an exponential increase in the knowledge of genetic eye diseases and syndromes.
