Age-related cerebral ventriculomegaly occurs in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia

Abstract excerpt

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disorder causing motile ciliary dysfunction primarily affecting the respiratory and reproductive systems. However, the impact of PCD on the central nervous system remains poorly understood. Rodent models of PCD exhibit marked hydrocephalus leading to early animal mortality, however, most humans with PCD do not develop hydrocephalus for unknown reasons. We hypothesized...
