Abstract excerpt
Disease-causing bi-allelic DNA variants in CCDC39 and CCDC40 are frequent causes of the hereditary disorder of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). The encoded proteins form a molecular ruler complex, crucial for maintaining the 96 nm repeat units along the ciliary axonemes. Defects of those proteins cause a stiff, rapid, and flickery ciliary beating pattern, recurrent respiratory infections, axonemal...
