I am a working mother of two and have been registered as blind since I turned 19 as a redilt of Stargardts Macular Distrophy.
As I have experienced genetic testing first-hand 10 years after my diagnosis and received no offer of genetic testing for my children who will undoubtedly carry the gene I was keen to get involved in this panel.
I understand the importance of receiving the service early on, both as a patient but also as a parent.
