Carver Laboratory for Molecular Diagnosis
The Carver Laboratory for Molecular Diagnosis is 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.

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.
