User input and run awk using the input

I am trying to allow a user to enter in text and then store that text in a variable $gene to run in an awk command in which those values are used to run some calculations. I am getting syntax errors however, when I try. Thank you Smilie.

The awk runs great if it is a pre-defined file that is used, but it could also be user input.

Code:
/home/cmccabe/Desktop/loop.sh: line 87: syntax error near unexpected token `for'
/home/cmccabe/Desktop/loop.sh: line 87: `for f in /home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/API/2-12-2015/bedtools/*base_counts.txt ; do'

Code:
other() {
printf "\n\n"
printf "Please enter the gene(s) of interest, use a comma between multiple: "; IFS="," read -a gene
        printf "the indicated genes will now be loaded and used to calculate coverage\n"
        [ -z "$gene" ] && printf "\n No ID supplied. Leaving match function." && sleep 2 && return
        [ "$gene" = "end" ] && printf "\n Leaving match function." && sleep 2 && return
        for ((i=0; i<${#gene[@]}; i++))

logfile=/home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/API/2-12-2015/process.log
for f in /home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/API/2-12-2015/bedtools/*base_counts.txt ; do
     echo "Start custom panel creation: $(date) - File: $f"
     bname=$(basename $f)
     pref=${bname%%.txt}
     awk '
 NR == FNR {input[$0]; next}
 {
    split($5, a, "-")
    if (a[1] in input) {
         key = $4 OFS $5
         n[key]++
         sum[key] += $7
     }
 }
 END {
     for (key in n) 
         printf "%s %.1f\n", key, sum[key]/n[key]
 }
' /home/cmccabe/Desktop/panels/$gene $f | awk '{split($2,a,"-"); print a[1] "\t" $0}' | sort | cut -f2-> /home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/API/2-12-2015/bedtools/${pref}_genescoverage.bed
      echo "End custom panel creation: $(date) - File: $f"
done >> "$logfile"
printf "coverage calculated and log created\n"
}

The rest of the documentation details each of the object methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _ transcripts Title : transcripts() Usage : @transcripts = $gene->transcripts(); Function: Get the transcript features/sites of this gene structure. See Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::TranscriptI for properties of the returned objects. Returns : An array of Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::TranscriptI implementing objects representing the promoter regions or sites. Args : promoters Title : promoters() Usage : @prom_sites = $gene->promoters(); Function: Get the promoter features/sites of this gene structure. Note that OO-modeling of regulatory elements is not stable yet. This means that this method might change or even disappear in a future release. Be aware of this if you use it.

Args : exons Title : exons() Usage : @exons = $gene->exons(); @inital = $gene->exons('Initial'); Function: Get all exon features or all exons of specified type of this gene structure. Refer to the documentation of the class that produced this gene structure object for information about the possible types. See Bio::SeqFeature::Gene::ExonI for properties of the returned objects.
