David and I had the wonderful privilege to speak with Dr. Mark Hughes of Genesis Genetics last week regarding our test. Here is what we learned:
1. He is a VERY smart man!
2. My mutation is located in the 32nd chapter, 23rd book, and 9th sentence or something to that effect. I can't remember the exact location and the information is at home.... :) Crappppp....
3. Right now, the error rate is 1-2% of correctly identifying the embryos with the TCS gene.
4. Our test was VERY difficult because my TCS was spontaneous (this is good news for my sisters and other family members).
5. Our error rate will become LOWER than 1-2% if I create any eggs/embryos with TCS because they'll develop our test even further. Sounds silly to wish for this but we kind of are. Even if we end up with no viable embryos, this would be a success for me!
6. So thankful for my fellow TCS mommy, Amy, because she totally understands what I just wrote! :)
7. All systems are GO! They have completed our test and are ready for our embryos! Yahoo!
