Extract
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a recessively inherited disorder affecting 1 per 15- 30,000 live births, with an increased frequency in some isolated populations. Patients suffer from recurrent upper –and lower respiratory infections, situs inversus (in 50% of cases) and infertility. Mutations have been identified in 15 genes, responsible for 40-50% of patients. We aimed to determine the gene defect in the large isolated PCD population with normal fertility in Volendam, The Netherlands. …
