High-speed video-microscopy analysis (HVMA) of ciliary beating, currently the first-line diagnostic tool for PCD in most centres, is challenging because recent studies have expanded the spectrum of HVMA findings in PCD from grossly abnormal to very subtle. The objective of this study was to describe the...
