Nx GEN SEQUENCING: OPTIC ATROPHY Test cost INR:28665 symptoms diagnosis
Optic atrophy is a condition that affects the optic nerve, which is responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain. This condition can lead to vision loss and other complications if left untreated. Nx GEN SEQUENCING is a genetic testing method that can help diagnose the cause of optic atrophy.
Symptoms of Optic Atrophy
The symptoms of optic atrophy can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Some common symptoms include:
- Blurred vision
- Loss of peripheral vision
- Difficulty distinguishing colors
- Pain in the eyes
- Headaches
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see an eye doctor for a comprehensive eye exam.
Diagnosing Optic Atrophy
Diagnosing optic atrophy typically involves a comprehensive eye exam and a review of medical history. Your eye doctor may also perform additional tests, such as:
- Visual field test
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
- Computed tomography (CT) scan
If these tests do not provide a clear diagnosis, genetic testing may be recommended.
Nx GEN SEQUENCING
Nx GEN SEQUENCING is a genetic testing method that can help diagnose the cause of optic atrophy. This testing method involves sequencing the DNA to identify any genetic mutations or abnormalities that may be causing the condition.
The cost of Nx GEN SEQUENCING for optic atrophy testing is INR 28665.
If a genetic mutation is identified through Nx GEN SEQUENCING, it can help guide treatment and management options for the condition. It can also help identify any potential risks for family members who may also be at risk for the condition.
Conclusion
Optic atrophy can be a serious condition that can lead to vision loss and other complications if left untreated. If you are experiencing any symptoms of optic atrophy, it is important to see an eye doctor for a comprehensive eye exam. If other tests do not provide a clear diagnosis, genetic testing through Nx GEN SEQUENCING may be recommended to identify any genetic mutations or abnormalities that may be causing the condition.

Hereditary optic neuropathies result from genetic defects that cause vision loss and occasionally cardiac or neurologic abnormalities. Mutations in several different genes on different chromosomes are associated with Optic neuropathies. This test is useful for the genetic determination of this disorder.
