Abstract excerpt
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD; OMIM 244400) is a rare genetic disorder affecting motile cilia and is characterized by impaired mucociliary clearance in the airway epithelium that leads to chronic oto-sinopulmonary manifestations. To date, over 50 PCD-causing genes have been identified, with these genes and their variants varying globally across populations. We performed targeted resequencing of 42 PCD-causative...
