Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a group of rare genetically heterogeneous disorders caused by defective cilia and flagella motility. The clinical phenotype of PCD patients commonly includes chronic oto-sino-pulmonary disease, infertility, and, in about half of cases, laterality defects due to randomization of left-right body asymmetry. To date, pathogenic variants in more than 50 genes responsible...
