Genetic exam for AMD

Hi! I am 53 years old, I have dry AMD. The cause of my AMD so young is genetic. My father had amd and he was almost blind at the age of 83 when he died.
I wanted to know if there is any genetic exam that can say if my kids will have this problem.
Thanks

  1. a couple of community members have mentioned they used 23@me. They thought it could show the likelihood of someone developing amd, but not a certainty. I know nothing about this company or the process, but they might be worth talking to. Best wishes, Wendy, Patient Leader.
