Mutations inCCDC39andCCDC40are the Major Cause of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia with Axonemal Disorganization and Absent Inner Dynein Arms

Abstract: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder caused by cilia and sperm dysmotility. About 12% of cases show perturbed 9+2 microtubule cilia structure and inner dynein arm (IDA) loss, historically termed ‘radial spoke defect’. We sequenced CCDC39 and CCDC40 in 54 ‘radial spoke defect’ families, as these are the two genes identified so far to cause this defect. We discovered biallelic mutations in a remarkable 69% (37/54) of families, including identification of 25 (19 novel) mutant a… Show more

“…For nNO validation studies at six (non-UNC) sites, PCD was confirmed by PCD-specific ciliary EM defects and, by the presence of biallelic mutations in PCD genes (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31). Informed consent was obtained at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and collaborating institutions under the auspices of Committees on the Protection of the Rights of Human Subjects.…”

“…6 Ciliary motility was analysed by video microscopy from transnasal brush biopsies. High-speed (500 frames per second) video sequences of the cilia were captured using a MotionPro X4 camera (Lake Image Systems, Tring, UK) on an inverted Nikon Diaphot microscope (Nikon Instruments Europe, Amsterdam, Netherlands).…”

“…All have previously been described to be associated with ciliary dyskinesia in either mice or humans, and in some cases both. 16,[45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63] We find it of significance, therefore, that a large proportion of affected genes are associated with not only isomerism, but also with ciliary dyskinesia. Previous studies have shown that over 40% of patients with isomerism also have ciliary dyskinesia.…”
