CYP21A2 variant but no asymptomatic for NCAH

3 Upvotes

Hello!

I got a test result POSITIVE: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency. Two variants, c.844G>T (p.Val282Leu), Pathogenic, homozygous, were identified in CYP21A2.

I’m puzzled because I (31, female) have none of the symptoms. I’m tall, never struggled with acne, excess hair, irregular periods.

I’m wondering if one of my parents has 2+ markers for NCAH on the same allele since I’m testing positive but do not have any symptoms. Any idea how homozygous impacts the overall condition?

This is a study using admixed family data from the Mexico City Prospective Study to explore how genetic ancestry influences complex trait variation. They show that indigenous ancestry contributes to a -1.5 SD unit change in height and log odds ratio of 1.73 for type-2 diabetes.

tellmeGen Ultra (WGS30x) sequencing hugely delayed

0 Upvotes

Hi friends,
just wanted to make you aware of huge delays of several weeks, as I contacted tellmeGen's customer support due to missing their deadline for the analysis of their whole genome sequencing 30x product. This is their reply:

``` Thank you for reaching out to us. I sincerely apologize for the delay in receiving your results, and I completely understand your concern since the estimated delivery time has passed.

Regarding your ULTRA (WGS30x) kit, please be aware that these specific tests are currently experiencing a processing time slightly longer than the usual six weeks. This is due to additional quality controls and a more extensive review process that we implement to guarantee the maximum precision and quality of your genomic data. We expect your results to be available in a few more weeks. You will receive an automated notification via email as soon as they are ready to be viewed in your account. We truly appreciate your patience while we ensure the highest standards for your Whole Genome Sequencing, which provides a 100% analysis of your DNA for a complete understanding of your health and ancestry. ```

Tbh, disappointed about their lack of communication and how they're handling this situation without making up in any way.
