Recent advances in primary ciliary dyskinesia genetics
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetically heterogeneous disorder caused by the abnormal structure and/or function of motile cilia. The PCD diagnosis is challenging and requires a well-described clinical phenotype combined with the identification of abnormalities in ciliary ultrastructure and/or beating pattern as well as the recognition of genetic cause of the disease. Regarding th...
متن کاملCiliary defects and genetics of primary ciliary dyskinesia.
Cilia are evolutionarily conserved structures that play key roles in diverse cell types. Motile cilia are involved in the most prominent ciliopathy called primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) that combines respiratory symptoms, male infertility, and, in nearly 50% cases, situs inversus. The diagnosis of PCD relies on the identification of ciliary abnormalities that mainly concern outer and/or inner...
متن کاملPrimary ciliary dyskinesia.
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic condition that affects the ciliary function of the respiratory tract, sperm tail, cilia of the embryonic node, and fallopian tube. The condition is characterized by impaired ciliary action, leading to recurrent lower-respiratory-tract infections, bronchiectasis, rhino-sinusitis, otitis media, impaired fertility in women, and infertility in men....
متن کاملPrimary Ciliary Dyskinesia
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is caused by ultrastructural ciliary defects that lead to abnormal ciliary beating and, subsequently, mucociliary dysfunction. PCD presents clinically with bronchiectasis, sinusitis, and, in up to 50% of cases, situs inversus. The ultrastructural defects of cilia are diverse but include in many cases outer and/or inner dynein arms. Recent advances have shown tha...
