| Specimen requirements: |
2-4 ml of blood with anticoagulant EDTA
1 µg DNA in TE, AE or pure sterile water at 100-250 ng/µl
The A260/A280 ratio should be 1.8-2.0. DNA sample should be run on an agarose gel as a single band, showing no degradation, alongside with a quantitative DNA marker. |
Indications for genetic testing:
1. Confirmation of clinical diagnosis
2. Carrier testing for at-risk family members

Asper Ophthalmics
Asper Ophthalmics is a comprehensive collection of genetic tests targeted at the diagnostics of a wide variety of hereditary ocular disorders, including retinal disorders, corneal dystrophies, and age related ophthalmic conditions.
Our genetic tests assist clinicians in confirming diagnoses and informing patients about their risks for inherited eye diseases.
