SPEF2- and HYDIN -Mutant Cilia Lack the Central Pair–associated Protein SPEF2, Aiding Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Diagnostics
23 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically heterogeneous chronic destructive airway disease. PCD is traditionally diagnosed by nasal nitric oxide measurement, analysis of ciliary beating, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and/or genetic testing. In most genetic PCD variants, laterality defects can occur. However, it is difficult to establish a diagnosis in individuals with PCD and central...
