| 615504 | OMIM | Ciliary dyskinesia, primary, 27 (CILD27) | A disorder characterized by abnormalities of motile cilia. Respiratory infections leading to chronic inflammation and bronchiectasis are recurrent, due to defects in the respiratory cilia. Patients may exhibit randomization of left-right body asymmetry and situs inversus, due to dysfunction of monocilia at the embryonic node. Primary ciliary dyskinesia associated with situs inversus is referred to as Kartagener syndrome. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Cilia ultrastructure show normal outer dynein arms, radial spokes and central pairs, but a reduction in inner dynein arms and nexin links. In 5%-15% of cilia, microtubules are disorganized. Nasal epithelial cilia reveal a stiff, dyskinetic cilia waveform. |
