First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 22 times
Summary
This study looked at 27 adults with Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) and healthy volunteers to see how different gene mutations affect the lungs' ability to clear mucus. By measuring clearance with a harmless radioactive tracer, researchers aimed to link specific genes to milder or more severe disease. The goal is to better understand PCD and guide future treatments.
