Primary ciliary dyskinesia is an inherited respiratory disease caused by various functional and ultrastructural abnormalities of respiratory cilia. The genetic heterogeneity underlying PCD is extremely important and only few genes are clearly implicated in PCD. Their mutations account for about 20% of patients. For all the other PCD patients, the genes responsible for their ciliary defect remain to be identify.
