Abstract excerpt
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disease with chronic airway infection and inflammation caused by ciliary ultrastructural defects and impairment in ciliary function. We present an adult case of PCD with compound heterozygous nonsense variants in CCDC39. The ciliary ultrastructure findings using electron microscopy and ciliary movement using high-speed video analysis matched the genotype. This is the...
