    Thank you! We need to bring more awareness to the entire world about this rare genetic condition. PLEASE continue to conduct research about cilia or lack of within patients with BBS patients. We need to find treatments with gene therapies and replacements.

    My brother has BBS, he'd lost his vision completely by the age of 14, he suffered 'night blindness, as a young child. He is currently dialysed three sessions each week with a view to home dialysis. He is thankfully on the transplant list :)

    That's odd, my brother died in his 30s who had cystic fibrosis and I'm a remake adult in my fifties and was diagnosed firstbrith retinal pugmentisa 20years ago then last couple years diagnosed with retinal dysteopht and then Bardeta bidel. I have central vision loss, color blindness and work part time at a school in a speck Ed class as a aide but am having memory problems, some balance, foot pain am seeing a foot doc have been naikes but still ilhavujg pain. When walk around a store when get home my feet hurt so much that they numb and hurt and have yo get off them. My job and walk was too much and am having paun plus n Ed to get another job instead of this is too much stress and too much for me. Are there any docs for this baedet bidel in Glendale Az or Avondale that I can have my unit d healthcare primary doc refer me too. Also live alone but have fake near me live In trailer to move have roach probs and hone needs repairs don't have money to do these and need help getting rid of stuff I need help don't know what to do.my nam is Jamie Johnson. Will n dicare and Medicaid have help where can get someone to help me get my hom clean d and fixed. I need help al fifty eight years old and can only do a little bit at a time I also have debts only 1,500 from using Uber too much am using dial a ride para transit more even though it takes more than 30 minutes to an hour to get a ride sometimes or a lot.

    What does conflicting mean on a genetic test results vs not applicable ?

  • @ciarataylor6456
    @ciarataylor6456 Год назад

    If one parent Carries BBS7 and one Carries BBS10 and their child shows BBS7 & 10 on genetic test with one variant in each are they carriers or do they have BBS ?

    • @bardetbiedlsyndromefoundat3849
      @bardetbiedlsyndromefoundat3849 Год назад

      "The basic answer is that the child is a carrier of 2 different BBS genes, but that does not mean that they have BBS. As far as we know, to be a carrier of two different BBS genes is not enough to cause the condition. The syndrome comes when a person has DNA variants (or changes) in both copies of a single particular BBS gene. That being said, there are common, uncommon, and unique DNA variants of each BBS gene. In a standard genetic test, the report will list whether the person has a DNA variant in a BBS gene that is known to cause the syndrome (“pathogenic" or "likely pathogenic"). You may also see that a person has a VUS or "variant of unknown significance" in a particular gene. This means that the copy of the gene is not what is known to be the normal version of that gene, but the DNA variant has not been proven to cause BBS. Unfortunately many genetic counselors sometimes will inform a patient or family that they "only have one copy" of a BBS gene and ignore a finding that the other copy is a "VUS". So to fully answer the question, you would need to confirm with the genetic counselor that the person in question has a "normal" copy of the BBS7 and BBS10 genes. If so, then the child is a carrier and does not have a genetic diagnosis of BBS with that information. If they do have a known BBS10 mutation and a VUS in the other copy of the gene, further specialized testing would be required to determine if that other mutation causes the syndrome. If the child has the clinical criteria for a BBS diagnosis, and the genetic test indicates carrier for each of BBS7 and BBS10, one other possibility could be that other causal DNA variant was not detected in this clinical test and should be referred to a genetics research study."

    Can I get more information? Also where should we go for help with this? My son has this marked on DNA as well as SLS7.
