Detailed description

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) belongs to a genetically heterogenous group of inherited ciliopathies, causing impaired movement of cilia and subsequent health problems in diverse organ systems, notably the respiratory tract. Because of the insufficient motility of cilia of epithelial mucous membrane, the function of mucus clearance from the airways is ineffective and results in chronic inflammation of the respiratory tract.
