NDP Gene Norrie Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test
Comprehensive Genetic Testing for Norrie Disease
The NDP Gene Norrie Disease NGS Genetic DNA Test represents a breakthrough in genetic diagnostics for individuals and families affected by Norrie disease. This sophisticated genetic analysis utilizes next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations in the NDP (Norrie disease protein) gene, which plays a critical role in retinal development and neurological function.
What is Norrie Disease?
Norrie disease is a rare X-linked genetic disorder characterized by progressive vision loss beginning in infancy, often accompanied by hearing impairment and developmental delays. The condition primarily affects males, though female carriers may exhibit mild symptoms. Early and accurate genetic diagnosis is essential for proper medical management and family planning decisions.
What the Test Measures and Detects
Our advanced NGS genetic test specifically targets the NDP gene located on the X chromosome (Xp11.3). The test identifies:
- Point mutations, deletions, and insertions in the NDP gene
- Pathogenic variants responsible for Norrie disease development
- Carrier status in female family members
- Genetic markers associated with disease severity and progression
Advanced NGS Technology
Utilizing cutting-edge next-generation sequencing, our test provides comprehensive coverage of the entire NDP gene coding region, ensuring high sensitivity and specificity in mutation detection. This technology allows for simultaneous analysis of multiple genetic regions, providing a complete genetic profile for accurate diagnosis.
Who Should Consider This Test
This genetic test is recommended for individuals exhibiting symptoms or having family history of Norrie disease, including:
Symptoms and Clinical Indications
- Infants with congenital or early-onset vision problems
- Progressive vision loss in childhood
- Hearing impairment developing in childhood or adolescence
- Developmental delays or intellectual disability
- Behavioral abnormalities or autism spectrum features
- Family history of X-linked retinal disorders
- Couples planning pregnancy with family history of Norrie disease
At-Risk Populations
- Males with unexplained childhood blindness
- Female relatives of affected males (carrier testing)
- Individuals with suspected Norrie disease but unclear diagnosis
- Families seeking genetic counseling for reproductive planning

Understanding Your Test Results
Our comprehensive genetic counseling support helps you interpret and understand your test results:
Possible Results and Their Meaning
- Positive Result: Identifies a pathogenic mutation in the NDP gene, confirming Norrie disease diagnosis
- Negative Result: No disease-causing mutation detected, though clinical correlation is essential
- Variant of Uncertain Significance: Identifies a genetic change with unknown clinical impact requiring further evaluation
- Carrier Status: For females, identifies whether they carry the NDP gene mutation
Next Steps After Testing
- Schedule follow-up consultation with our genetic counselors
- Coordinate care with ophthalmologists and neurologists
- Develop personalized management and treatment plans
- Access support resources and patient advocacy groups
- Consider genetic testing for at-risk family members
