ABSTRACT

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is genetic condition with ciliary motion dysfunction inducing a wide variety of complications on the human being involving the respiratory tract, reproductive system, auditory functioning, and others. The PCD genetics are complex and involve many genetic mutations. This discussion considers various aspects of PCD pathophysiology, diagnosis and management. Treatment of pulmonary issues includes dealing with respiratory infections and bronchiectasis as well as means to address abnormalities of mucus clearance. Further research in the 21st century is vital to learn more about this complex, chronic and enigmatic genetic disorder.
