Navigating the Diagnostic Process for IRDs

In Episode 2 of the EURETINA Independent Medical Education (IME) Video Interview Series on Genetic Diagnosis Awareness of Inherited Retinal Diseases (IRDs), Professors Omar Mahroo and Dominik Fischer return to discuss the step-by-step process of diagnosing IRDs and the role of genetic testing within that pathway.

The episode highlights the essential clinical investigations that can guide a diagnosis, including when to initiate genetic testing and how to determine the most appropriate type of genetic test. The discussion also addresses next steps when initial testing—such as whole genome sequencing—does not yield conclusive results.

This conversation offers a practical, experience-based perspective on diagnostic strategy and is an important resource for clinicians involved in the care of patients with suspected inherited retinal diseases.
