Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a ciliopathy caused by dysfunction of motile cilia. As there is still no standard PCD diagnostics, the final diagnosis requires a combination of several tests. The genetic screening is a hallmark for the final diagnosis and requires high-throughput techniques, such as whole-exome sequencing (WES). Nevertheless, WES has limitations that may prevent a definitive genetic...
