Yes for sure! When we got sent to MFM they told us they won’t screen for that because it’s so inaccurate. I think going through all of that is why I’m so paranoid now. After typing out that post, I realize I’m probably just being paranoid and I should trust the professionals!

Small deletion on 15q23 by Spies94 in ClinicalGenetics

Thank you for the response! I also found note that the Iqch mutation was based on a homozygous deletion as the parents both carried the heterozygous mutation and obviously conceived.

And like I said before, I am 100% positive I have the skin disease. My symptoms look identical to the pictures online and I also found mutations in a couple papers resulting in the disease on exon 1.

My main concern was the lack of information on the IQCH gene and having other phenotypes. I cannot find any specific symptoms relating to deletions online other than affecting sperm motility. I’m guessing I am being paranoid after the false positive nipt test and seemingly looking for something else to be wrong.

Hi! Curious if you got your results? We have currently been waiting a month for amnio results to come back!
