Abstract excerpt
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a congenital motile ciliopathy causing impaired mucociliary clearance and characterized by recurrent respiratory infections affecting both the upper and lower airways. Several genes involved in taste perception pathways are expressed in extraoral tissues and have recently emerged as regulators of airway immune responses. This study aimed to (1) analyze potential correlations...
