LRRC6 mutation causes primary ciliary dyskinesia with dynein arm defects.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Despite recent progress in defining the ciliome, the genetic basis for many cases of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) remains elusive. We evaluated five children from two unrelated, consanguineous Palestinian families who had PCD with typical clinical ...

Definition of sinonasal and otological exacerbation in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia: an expert consensus

open access: yesERJ Open Research
Background Recurrent infections of the nose, sinuses and ears are common problems for people with primary ciliary dyskinesia. While pulmonary exacerbations in primary ciliary dyskinesia are defined, there is no definition for ear-nose-throat ...

Expression of nitric oxide synthases in primary ciliary dyskinesia.

open access: yes, 2011
International audienceNitric oxide is believed to play a central role in nonspecific defense of upper airways. Patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia have very low concentration of nasal nitric oxide, which may contribute to the chronic upper airway ...

Beyond bacteria and breaking the norm: Pulmonary mucormycosis due to in a child with primary ciliary dyskinesia

open access: yesJournal of International Medical Research
Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that impairs mucociliary clearance and predisposes children to chronic respiratory infections. Invasive fungal infections caused by Lichtheimia (Absidia) corymbifera are typically confined

Alternative inert gas washout outcomes in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The lung clearance index (LCI) derived from a nitrogen multiple breath washout test (N2-MBW) is a promising tool to assess small airways disease in primary ciliary dyskinesia, but it is difficult to apply in routine clinical settings because of its long ...

Bronchodilator responsiveness in children with primary ciliary dyskinesia

open access: yesERJ Open Research
Background Reversible airway obstruction is common in children with primary ciliary dyskinesia. However, the diagnostic value of adding bronchodilator (BD) response testing to routine spirometry is unclear.
