Yes or No selection within bash function

I need to add a selection within the bash function below and am having some trouble doing so.

Code:

phox2b() {
    printf "\n\n"
    printf "What is the id of the patient getting Phox2B analysis  : "; read id
    printf "Is this an intronic variant?  Y/N "; read match_choice

    case "$match_choice" in
        [yY]) id="${id}"; 
         printf "%s \n" "Please enter variant(s), use a comma between multiple: "
OLDIFS=$IFS
IFS=","
read -a variants
for (( i = 0; i < ${#variants[@]}; i++ ))
	do
	printf "NM_003924.3:%s\n" "${variants[$i]}" >> c:/Users/cmccabe/Desktop/Python27/out.txt
	done
IFS=$OLDIFS

        [nN]) id="${id}";  
	printf "Please enter the coding variant the following is an example"
	echo " c.274G>T"
	
        printf "variant(s), use a comma between multiple: "; IFS="," read -a variant
        
        [ -z "$id" ] && printf "\n No ID supplied. Leaving match function." && sleep 2 && return
        [ "$id" = "end" ] && printf "\n Leaving match function." && sleep 2 && return

        for ((i=0; i<${#variant[@]}; i++))
              do printf "NM_003924.3:%s\n" ${variant[$i]} >> c:/Users/cmccabe/Desktop/Python27/out.txt
        done
	add2text ${id}.txt
	additional
}

xprintf_comp

XPRINTF_COMP(3) 					   BSD Library Functions Manual 					   XPRINTF_COMP(3)

NAME

     free_printf_comp, new_printf_comp -- extensible printf compilation

SYNOPSIS

     #include <printf.h>

     void
     free_printf_comp(printf_comp_t pc);

     printf_comp_t
     new_printf_comp(printf_domain_t restrict domain, locale_t restrict loc, const char * restrict fmt);

DESCRIPTION

     To ameliorate some of the slowness caused by the extra overhead in extensible printf (see xprintf(5)), a compile/execute mechanism has been
     created.  The new_printf_comp() function compiles the given format string, along with a printf domain (see xprintf_domain(3)) and an extended
     locale (see xlocale(3)), and returns a printf_comp_t structure.  The domain may not be NULL, but the locale can be NULL, which means to use
     the current locale, either the per-thread locale if it was set, or else the global locale.  Because the printf_comp_t structure records the
     domain and locale, care should be taken if either of these are changed.

     Once a printf_comp_t structure is created, it can be passed to one of the extensible printf execution variants, described in xprintf_exec(3),
     along with the necessary arguments.  Creating the printf_comp_t structure needs to be done only once, but it can be passed to extensible
     printf execution variants any number of times.

     When the printf_comp_t structure is no longer needed, it should be passed to free_printf_comp() to release internal memory.

RETURN VALUES

     The new_printf_comp() function returns the new structure, or NULL on error (usually NULL domain or out of memory condition).
