Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a multifactorial condition, as both genetic and non-genetic factors are likely to play a role in the development of the disease. Families in which there are multiple affected, close relatives are more likely to have a significant genetic component.
Clinical genetic testing for some genetic causes of glaucoma may be available through offline genetic testing providers if indicated by further evaluation and consultation with a trained genetic professional. Use the zip code search box to find a trained genetic professional in your area.
Glaucoma/Macular Degeneration - SNP Testing
SNP testing for glaucoma/macular degeneration looks for a single SNP or multiple SNPs that have been linked to this trait. A SNP is a genetic change in which one "letter" of DNA differs from the usual "letter" at that point in the DNA sequence. The number of SNPs tested for varies by provider.
This testing is for informational purposes only and is not a medical (clinical) genetic test.
This testing is available online through the Direct to Consumer Genetic Testing providers listed below. A consultation with a trained genetic professional may be useful.
