Polygenic Risk Score Test
Understand your genetic risk for glaucoma progression with a simple at-home saliva test. Powered by the latest genomic research.
One-time test
Who Should Get Tested?
PRS testing provides valuable insights for many glaucoma patients
Especially Beneficial For:
Early-Stage Glaucoma
Understand your progression risk to guide treatment intensity
Glaucoma Suspects
Determine if you're at higher risk for developing disease
Family History
Multiple relatives with glaucoma? Learn your inherited risk
Treatment Decision Points
Considering SLT, surgery, or medication changes? Inform your choice
Important Considerations:
Ancestry Matters
Most accurate for European ancestry; research ongoing for other populations
One Piece of the Puzzle
PRS combines with clinical factors for comprehensive risk assessment
Not Diagnostic
This test assesses risk, it doesn't diagnose glaucoma or predict outcomes
Discuss with Your Doctor
Results are most valuable when interpreted with your eye care provider

What You'll Learn
Comprehensive insights from your genetic profile
Your Risk Percentile
See how your genetic risk compares to the general population. For example, "Your PRS places you in the 85th percentile, meaning 85% of people have lower genetic risk."
Example Risk Levels:
- Low (0-33rd percentile)
- Average (34-66th percentile)
- Elevated (67-90th percentile)
- High (91-100th percentile)
Progression Risk Factors
Understand which genetic factors contribute most to your risk profile and how they interact with clinical findings.
- Genetic variants associated with IOP elevation
- Optic nerve susceptibility markers
- Retinal ganglion cell vulnerability genes
- Aqueous outflow pathway variants
Personalized Monitoring
Receive recommendations for monitoring frequency and intensity based on your genetic risk combined with clinical factors.
- Suggested IOP monitoring schedule
- Visual field testing frequency guidance
- OCT imaging recommendations
- Home monitoring considerations
Treatment Insights
Evidence-based guidance on treatment approaches that may be more or less effective based on your genetic profile.
- Medication response predictions
- Surgical intervention timing considerations
- Target IOP recommendations
- Aggressive vs. conservative approach guidance
Scientific Foundation
- Based on genome-wide association studies (GWAS)
- Validated in large patient cohorts
- Published in peer-reviewed journals
- CLIA-certified laboratory processing
Privacy & Security
- HIPAA compliant data handling
- Samples destroyed after analysis
- No data sharing without consent
- Secure encrypted data storage
