Today’s featured artist is R. LaMonte with her submission titled “PCD through the eyes of AI”.
“Bronchiectasis can result from infectious, genetic, immunological and allergic causes. 60–80% cases are idiopathic, but a well-recognised genetic cause is the motile ciliopathy, primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). Diagnosis of PCD has management implications including addressing co-morbidities, implementing genetic and fertility counselling and future access to PCD-specific treatments. Diagnostic testing can be complex, however PCD genetic testing is rapidly moving from research into clinical diagnostics and would confirm the cause of bronchiectasis.“ ~ Genome sequencing reveals underdiagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia in bronchiectasis

The PCD Artist Project is a collaborative effort by artist to raise awareness for PCD or primary ciliary dyskinesia and support the PCD Smiles program. Each artist who submitted art work to the project either has PCD or has a PCD friend or family member.
