Updates in Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia
Needs Statement
Clinical geneticists, residents, fellows, laboratory fellows, genetic counselors, nurse practitioners, nurses, and medical students need to be regularly updated on the advances in clinical genetics research, and guidelines for the diagnosis and management of genetic disorders. The series aims to increase knowledge of the learners in these topic areas, and to provide the skills and tools for their implementation in clinical practice in order to enhance the quality of health care and outcomes.
Target Audience
Physicians, fellows, residents, medical students, nurses, and other health professionals.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of the session, the participants should be able to:
Review the clinical phenotype of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).
Compare and contrast PCD with other genetic disorders of mucociliary clearance.
Recognize the modalities available for diagnosis of PCD.
Discuss the rationale for genetic testing as the first-line confirmatory test in patients with PCD.
