Abstract
Purpose
We aimed to examine the correlation between clinical characteristics and the pathogenic gene variants in patients with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD).
Methods
We conducted a retrospective single-center study in patients with PCD followed at the University Hospitals Leuven. We included patients with genetically confirmed PCD and described their genotype, data from ultrastructural ciliary evaluation and clinical characteristics. Genotype/phenotype correlations were studied in patients with the most frequently involved genes.
Results
We enrolled 74 patients with a median age of 25.58 years. The most frequently involved genes were DNAH11 (n = 23) and DNAH5 (n = 19). The most frequent types of pathogenic variants were missense (n = 42) and frameshift variants (n = 36) and most patients had compound heterozygous variants (n = 44). Ciliary ultrastructure (p < 0.001), situs (p = 0.015) and age at diagnosis (median 9.50 vs 4.71 years, p = 0.037) differed between DNAH11 and DNAH5. When correcting for situs this difference in age at diagnosis was no longer significant (p = 0.973). Patients with situs inversus were diagnosed earlier (p = 0.031). Respiratory tract microbiology (p = 0.161), lung function (cross-sectional, p = 0.829 and longitudinal, p = 0.329) and chest CT abnormalities (p = 0.202) were not significantly different between DNAH11 and DNAH5 variants.
Conclusion
This study suggests a genotype–phenotype correlation for some of the evaluated clinical characteristics of the two most frequently involved genes in this study, namely DNAH11 and DNAH5.
