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

Today’s featured artist is Emily Lyles with her submission titled “Breathe Again”.

“Recently, delineation of genotype–phenotype relationships has been emerged in patients with PCD. For example, patients with absent inner dynein arm with microtubular disorganization who harbor a CCDC39 or CCDC40 mutation, have worse lung function compared with patients with outer dynein arm defects and DNAH5 mutation. In contrast, patients with RSPH1 mutations appear to have mild lung function impairment. However, caution is needed when interpreting these genotype–phenotype data based on a small number of patients.” ~ Clinical and genetic spectrum of primary ciliary dyskinesia in Chinese patients: a systematic review - Bo Peng, Yong-hua Gao, Jia-qi Xie, Xiao-wen He, Cong-cong Wang, Jin-fu Xu & Guo-jun Zhang

Today’s featured artist is Emilee Crumpton with her submission titled “Inspiration”.

“Unexplained neonatal respiratory distress is a possible manifestation of PCD. Transient tachypnea of the newborn, starting soon after birth, is a well-known cause of respiratory distress in term and near-term newborns, and resolution by the fifth day of life is generally reported. Conversely, more than 75% of full-term neonates with PCD require continuous supplemental oxygen for days to weeks. The most stricking finding of a recent study was that pneumonia and multiple lobar collapse that require prolonged hospital stay may be very severe in newborns who will be later confirmed as PCD.” ~ Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia: An Update on Clinical Aspects, Genetics, Diagnosis, and Future Treatment Strategies

“Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is associated with abnormal ciliary structure and function, which results in retention of mucus and bacteria in the respiratory tract, leading to chronic oto-sino-pulmonary disease, situs abnormalities and abnormal sperm motility.” ~ Primary ciliary dyskinesia: a consensus statement on diagnostic and treatment approaches in children
