Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is an inherited disorder characterized by impaired ciliary function that leads to an array of clinical manifestations including chronic bronchitis, chronic sinusitis, chronic otitis media, situs inversus (in approximately 50% of cases), and infertility. The underlying ...
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of cilia structure and function, leading to chronic infections of the respiratory tract, fertility problems and disorders of organ laterality. Making a definitive diagnosis is challenging, utilizing characteristic phenotypes, ciliary ...
Secondary ciliary dyskinesia may be seen in diseases associated with acute and chronic airway inflammation and infection. This review will focus primarily on PCD, the genetically transmitted form of the disease, with a brief review of the structure and function of normal and dysfunctional cilia, ...

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare but underdiagnosed disorder that affects motile cilia function throughout the body. With increasing prevalence through ongoing genetic discovery, PCD underlies the disease process in a significant number of patients with chronic suppurative lung disease and ...

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare heterogeneous genetic disorder affecting ciliary function. Genes coding for various ciliary structural proteins or cytoplasmic proteins responsible for the assembly of cilia can be mutated resulting in abnormal ciliary function. However, despite the diversity of ...
