Genetic testing to help identify inherited eye conditions
Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study uses whole exome and whole genome genetic tests to look for DNA changes linked to inherited or congenital eye problems. It may help families and doctors better understand the cause of the eye condition and guide future care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or the person in your family you’re reporting for) have an eye condition being studied, or you’re a family member who can help with the DNA analysis
- You can read, understand, and sign the consent form (or your legally authorized representative can)
- You must be able to follow the study steps and complete what the team asks for
- If the participant is a minor, a parent or legal representative must be able to consent and make decisions
- If parents share custody, both must agree for the minor to join
- The study team must feel you can understand genetic results and handle the information

This study looks at genes in people with inherited eye conditions and in close family members who may or may not have the condition. It helps researchers understand what causes these eye diseases and how they might be better studied in the future.
This study collects DNA samples and medical information from people with rare inherited eye diseases and their close relatives. The goal is to learn more about the genetic causes of these conditions and improve diagnosis and care.
This trial is a general screening step for people who may have an eye (ocular) condition, or for family members of someone with an eye condition. The goal is to help match you to an eye research study by confirming your situation and whether you can safely participate.
This study uses genome (DNA) sequencing to look for the genetic cause of rare disorders, especially when the cause is unknown. It may help some families better understand what is driving the condition, using genetic information from the affected person and often their parents.
This study follows people with eye conditions (including when the diagnosis is unclear) to learn what causes them and how they change. It may help by giving you closer eye evaluations and contributing knowledge that could improve care for future patients.
This study looks at families who have inherited (passed down) eye conditions, using eye exams and blood tests. It may help researchers understand what causes these conditions and find better ways to diagnose them.
