John and Marcia Carver Nonprofit Genetic Testing Laboratory at the
University of Iowa
- The Carver Laboratory provides non-profit genetic
testing for rare eye diseases. Most of the diseases that the lab
studies are so rare that commercial tests would be unlikely to be
viable for the long term. As a result, many individuals affected with
these diseases and their families would have little access to molecular
information. Genes that are available for screening by the Carver
Laboratory have previously been extensively studied in the research
laboratories of Dr. Ed Stone and Dr. Val Sheffield. By incorporating
this research information into the design of the tests, the laboratory
is able to offer genetic tests that provide the most clinically
relevant information to patients and their families while keeping the
tests affordable.
