Abstract excerpt
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically heterogeneous, autosomal recessive disorder caused by abnormal ciliary ultrastructure and function, characterized clinically by oto-sino-pulmonary disease. Mutations in an intermediate chain dynein (DNAI1; IC78) have recently been described in PCD patients, with outer dynein arm (ODA) defects. The aims of the current study were to test for novel DNAI1 mutations in...
