Discovery Fills a Gap in Understanding, Diagnosing Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

Researchers have revealed the structure and composition of an understudied region called the transition zone in hair-like cilia. They show that mutations in two genes break linkers that hold the transition zone together, hampering the cilia's ability to clear mucus from the airways. The work adds to the number of genes known to cause the rare disease primary ciliary dyskinesia, which could help explain and diagnose some of the 20 to 30
