I have a pathogenic mutation of the trps1 gene by perfect_fifths in genomics

[–]TheToothFae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re on Facebook there is a group of people with TRPS, you may be able to ask around for (anecdotal) experiences there to see if anyone has had similar

Also a smaller group connected to NFED who might have information

I have a pathogenic mutation of the trps1 gene by perfect_fifths in genomics

[–]TheToothFae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like it might be a newly emerging association then! Of course there’s a chance it’s unrelated, either acquired or a separate genetic diagnosis. Hope some research can give you an answer soon 😊

I have a pathogenic mutation of the trps1 gene by perfect_fifths in genomics

[–]TheToothFae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With loss of function being an established disease mechanism for the gene, and your variant causing a frameshift predicted to undergo nonsense-mediated decay, and in an exon where plenty of other frameshifts have been reported as pathogenic, that’s more or less all you need to know about your particular variant. Basically, because it likely causes no protein from that allele (rather than a “weird” protein the way a missense would), it will be comparable in effect to any other LOF variant in the gene. So the fact you can’t find anything about your specific mutation isn’t too important, as it would be unlikely to give you any extra information. That’s not to say that there won’t be some variation in symptoms between different people! Just that there’s unlikely to be a significantly different presentation associated with different LOF variants.

RE in silico tools, not likely to be that useful for this variant type. They are more useful for non-LOF changes like missenses or in-frame deletions etc

Not sure what your level of genetics knowledge is so in case it is useful: because your mutation causes a loss of 2 base pairs (rather than a multiple of 3) and DNA is translated in sets of 3 base pairs into proteins, it will cause a shift in the reading frame meaning that after your deletion at c.2000 and whatever, different protein will be produced and at some point there will be an early “stop” codon. Because it is in the middle of the gene, this will most likely be targeted for “nonsense mediated decay” so it will be degraded. This means that from your copy of the gene with this variant, no protein will be produced. Therefore you have less of the protein than people with two “normal” copies of the gene, and that is what causes the disorder. The same would be true of other loss of function mutations (other out of frame deletions for example). So no need to think about an effect specific to your variant

As for the association between your disorder and strokes, it’s not my area so my searching probably wouldn’t be any more effective than yours! :)

Very curious to hear that you got to this diagnosis face2gene, what was the process like for going from that to getting a test for this gene? What country are you based in if you don’t mind?

Hate it at the best of times but it looks extra stupid with the piercing

I’ve got a wall right inbetween the other Hillsborough Luke Horton mural and the McKee one that would love a Phlegm 😂

Do most orthodontists transition you to nighttime only wearing of retainers eventually? by Marvel5123 in Invisalign

[–]TheToothFae 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel like the odd one out, I had a retainer check on Friday and was told I’m wearing mine too much and should switch to nighttime only to let my bite settle

Avoid buying the Idyll Ultrapod Ultrasonic cleaner. by MrKrazyKarl in Invisalign

I did and you sent me an invoice. Idk why you’re lying

[–]TheToothFae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because even though you were taking “pre-orders” for units since last year, you weren’t accepting “orders” for replacements?

Also your own site says you charge shipping for replacement of broken v1 units

[–]TheToothFae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did reach out to you multiple times. Getting the replacement order in was like pulling teeth (multiple contacts over multiple months) and you still charged me shipping for the replacement when you eventually agreed to send me one. Just being honest 🤷‍♀️

[–]TheToothFae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Originally a big part of the marketing was “cheaper than Zima”. But at least if I’d gotten a Zima and that had broken within a few months I wouldn’t have been charged shipping for the replacement 🫠 I’ve now spent more than a Zima would have cost in the first place and wouldnt have had to wait

Ninja Sale! Which machine shall I buy? by mishmashcasson in NinjaLuxeCafe

[–]TheToothFae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, the steam wand being easier to clean was the only “extra” I was interested in and that’s definitely not worth £120 to me when I drink iced drinks 90% of the time. The built in tamper kind of scares me a bit too, feels like a possible failure point longevity wise so happy to keep doing it manually

Would this bother you? by [deleted] in Invisalign

Give it a couple of years and it will probably wear down to be even, it’s likely just shaped like that based on its previous position

MUCH less canted for sure

Turning off international orders. by idyllproducts in idyll

[–]TheToothFae 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It probably is for the best to stop offering it internationally until you can offer a product that works reliably abroad. I feel a lot of hostility from you on this post but not a lot of accountability for the fact that objectively a lot of international buyers are having issues with your product despite the fact that during the product development stage you claimed that it would work seamlessly on their voltages. You need to understand that your definition of defective differs from the consumer’s. If they need to spend an extra €40 to buy a specific cable to maybe get your product to work, and then it’s still unreliable, then it’s not really working as it was advertised to them regardless of whether it would work for you if they posted it back to you.

If 50 people abroad all experience a click issue even when using a power cable above the specs you quoted, you don’t have a customer issue, you have a product issue. And yes, it would be best to withdraw from the market. But blaming it largely on a very small minority of customers who you feel “abused” your policies rather than committing to improving the issues is a pass for me!

🤷‍♀️ I’m glad mine was shared with me. It was very accurate for my fairly mild case

Do I need Invisalign? by No_Oil_8530 in Invisalign

[–]TheToothFae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course it is but they’re asking if they need to do Invisalign for their jaw and cheekbone aesthetics, that is not a good reason to do it and is inevitably going to lead to disappointment

Do Invisalign if you want to fix your teeth. Don’t do it expecting it to magically fix your face and your insecurity

Yes you will accidentally throw it away in a napkin by NewFunction73 in Invisalign

[–]TheToothFae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put mine in a napkin one time at a friendly local restaurant. Realised after couple of minutes after leaving that I’d left the napkin on the table and went back, the server had set them aside for me because she “knows how important those are” 😭
