Abstract
INTRODUCTION There are no recent data on primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) distribution, diagnosis and treatment in Italy. METHODS A descriptive study based on a survey questionnaire. It consisted of three sections (patients, diagnosis, and treatment), and sent to all the Italian PCD Centers. RESULTS Questionnaires obtained from 20/22 centers in 12/20 regions showed that the total number of PCD patients treated at the participating centers was of 416. Out of all centers, 55% follow <20 patients, two centers have >40 patients, and 75% follow both pediatric and adults. Age at diagnosis was between 4 and 8 years in 45% of the centers, <3 years in three centers. Nasal nitric oxide, transmission electron microscopy and ciliary high-speed video microscopy are performed in 75%, 90%, and 40% of centers, respectively. Immunofluorescence is available in five centers. Genetic analysis is offered in 55% of the centers, and in seven centers >50% of the patients have a known genetic profile. Patients treated at all centers receive inhaled saline solutions, corticosteroids and chest physiotherapy. Prophylactic antibiotics and mucolytics are prescribed in 95% and 50% of the centers, respectively. Pseudomonas infection is treated with oral or inhaled antibiotics. CONCLUSIONS Many Italian centers care for a small number of pediatric and adult patients, and diagnosis is often delayed. We found a great variability in the available diagnostic procedures, as well in the prescribed therapies. Our study will help to uniform diagnostic algorithm and share treatments protocols for PCD in Italy and allowed to set specific national goals.

[PMID: 35352480 PMCID: PMC9314966 DOI: 10.1002/ajmg.c.31967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2022] [Revised: 03/10/2022] [Accepted: 03/15/2022] [Indexed: 12/01/2022]
Abstract
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) can be defined as a multiorgan ciliopathy with a dominant element of chronic airway disease affecting the nose, sinuses, middle ear, and in particular, the lower airways. Although most patients with PCD are diagnosed during preschool years, it is obvious that the chronic lung disease starts its course already from birth. The many faces of the clinical picture change, as does lung function, structural lung damage, the burden of infection, and of treatment throughout life. A markedly severe neutrophil inflammation in the respiratory tract seems pervasive and is only to a minimal extent ameliorated by a treatment strategy, which is predominantly aimed at bacterial infections. An ever‐increasing understanding of the different aspects, their interrelationships, and possible different age courses conditioned by the underlying genotype is the focus of much attention. The future is likely to offer personalized medicine in the form of mRNA therapy, but to that end, it is of utmost importance that all patients with PCD be carefully characterized and given a genetic diagnosis. In this narrative review, we have concentrated on lower airways and summarized the current understanding of the chronic airway disease in this motile ciliopathy. In addition, we highlight the challenges, gaps, and opportunities in PCD lung disease research.

Abstract
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a heterogeneous disease, with impaired mucociliary clearance causing respiratory tract infections. A founding CCDC114 mutation has led to a relatively homogeneous and large Dutch PCD population in Volendam. Our aim was to describe their phenotype. Therefore, all Volendam PCD patients seen at the Amsterdam UMC were included in this study. Data were collected on lung function, microbiology, radiology, and ear‐nose‐throat (ENT) symptoms. A mixed effects model estimated lung function decline in %point per year (95% confidence interval [CI]). Thirty‐three (60%) out of approximately 56 Volendam PCD patients were treated at our center and included in this study. Only 30% of patients had situs inversus. FEV1 declined in children (−1.43%/year, CI: −1.80/−1.05), but not in adults (0.01%/year, CI: −0.36/0.38). Pseudomonas aeruginosa was cultured in 21% of children and 60% of adults, respectively. Patients who have been infected at some point with P. aeruginosa had a steeper decline in FEV1 as compared to patients that have never been infected. Neonatal symptoms (79%) and ENT problems (94%) were common; fertility issues however, were not (11%) common. Compared to other PCD cohorts, the Volendam/CCDC114 patients have a moderately severe phenotype with lung function decline predominantly occurring in childhood.

Abstract
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic ciliopathy in which mucociliary clearance is disturbed by the abnormal motion of cilia or there is a severe reduction in the generation of multiple motile cilia. Lung damage ensues due to recurrent airway infections, sometimes even resulting in respiratory failure. So far, no causative treatment is available and treatment efforts are primarily aimed at improving mucociliary clearance and early treatment of bacterial airway infections. Treatment guidelines are largely based on cystic fibrosis (CF) guidelines, as few studies have been performed on PCD. In this review, we give a detailed overview of the clinical studies performed investigating PCD to date, including three trials and several case reports. In addition, we explore precision medicine approaches in PCD, including gene therapy, mRNA transcript and read-through therapy.

Abstract
Introduction In primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) impaired mucociliary clearance leads to recurrent airway infections and progressive lung destruction, and concern over chronic airway infection and patient-to-patient transmission is considerable. So far, there has been no defined consensus on how to control infection across centres caring for patients with PCD. Within the BEAT-PCD network, COST Action and ERS CRC together with the ERN-Lung PCD core a first initiative has now been taken towards creating such a consensus statement. Methods A multidisciplinary international PCD expert panel was set up to create a consensus statement for infection prevention and control (IP&C) for PCD, covering diagnostic microbiology, infection prevention for specific pathogens considered indicated for treatment and segregation aspects. Using a modified Delphi process, consensus to a statement demanded at least 80% agreement within the PCD expert panel group. Patient organisation representatives were involved throughout the process. Results We present a consensus statement on 20 IP&C statements for PCD including suggested actions for microbiological identification, indications for treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia cepacia and nontuberculous mycobacteria and suggested segregation aspects aimed to minimise patient-to-patient transmission of infections whether in-hospital, in PCD clinics or wards, or out of hospital at meetings between people with PCD. The statement also includes segregation aspects adapted to the current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Conclusion The first ever international consensus statement on IP&C intended specifically for PCD is presented and is targeted at clinicians managing paediatric and adult patients with PCD, microbiologists, patient organisations and not least the patients and their families. For the first time ever, an international consensus statement for infection prevention and control in PCD is presented. A total of 20 statements were developed in a collaboration of BEAT-PCD, COST Action, ERS CRC and ERN-LUNG PCD Core Network.https://bit.ly/3yuahKt

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report detailed knowledge about the clinical manifestations, ciliary phenotypes, genetic spectrum as well as phenotype/genotype correlation in primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) in Chinese children. STUDY DESIGN We recruited 50 Chinese children with PCD. Extensive clinical assessments, nasal nitric oxide, high-speed video analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and genetic testing were performed to characterize the phenotypes and genotypes of these patients. RESULTS Common clinical features included chronic wet cough (85.4%), laterality defects (70.0%), and neonatal respiratory distress (55.8%). A high prevalence of congenital abnormalities (30.2%, 13/43), observed in patients who underwent comprehensive examination for comorbidities, included thoracic deformity (11.6%, 5/43), congenital heart disease (9.3%, 4/43), and sensorineural deafness (2.3%, 1/43). For 24 children age >6 years, the mean predicted values of forced expiratory volume in 1 second were 87.2%. Bronchiectasis evident on high-resolution computed tomography was reported in 38.1% of patients (16/42). Biallelic mutations (81 total; 57 novel) were identified in 13 genes: DNAAF3, DNAAF1, DNAH5, DNAH11, CCDC39, CCDC40, CCDC114, CCDC103, HYDIN, CCNO, DNAI1, OFD1, and SPAG1. Overall, ciliary ultrastructural and beat pattern correlated well with the genotype. However, variable phenotypes were also observed in CCDC39 and DNAH5 mutant cilia. CONCLUSIONS This large PCD cohort in China broadens the clinical, ciliary phenotypes, and genetic characteristics of children with PCD. Our findings are roughly consistent with previous studies besides some peculiarities such as high prevalence of associated abnormalities.

Abstract
Die Primäre Ciliäre Dyskinesie (PCD, MIM 242650) ist eine seltene hereditäre Multisystemerkrankung mit klinisch heterogenem Phänotyp. Leitsymptom ist eine chronische Sekretretention der oberen und unteren Atemwege, welche durch die Dysfunktion motiler respiratorischer Zilien entsteht. In der Folge kommt es zur Ausbildung von Bronchiektasen, häufig zu einer Infektion durch Pseudomonas aeruginosa sowie einer abnehmenden Lungenfunktion bis hin zum Lungenversagen. Bislang gibt es kaum evidenzbasierte Therapieempfehlungen, da randomisierte Langzeitstudien zur Behandlung der PCD fehlten. In diesem Jahr wurden die Daten einer ersten placebokontrollierten Medikamentenstudie bei PCD veröffentlicht. Anlässlich dieses Meilensteins im Management der PCD wurde der vorliegende Übersichtsartikel als Konsens von Patientenvertretern sowie Klinikern, die langjährige Erfahrung in der Behandlung der PCD haben, verfasst. Diese Arbeit bietet eine Zusammenfassung aktuell eingesetzter Behandlungsverfahren, die überwiegend auf persönlichen Erfahrungen und Expertenmeinungen beruhen oder von anderen Atemwegserkrankungen wie der Cystischen Fibrose (CF), COPD oder Bronchiektasen-Erkrankung abgeleitet werden. Da es derzeit keine kurative Therapie für PCD gibt, stehen symptomatische Maßnahmen wie die regelmäßige Reinigung der Atemwege und die Behandlung von rezidivierenden Atemwegsinfektionen im Fokus. Nicht respiratorische Manifestationen werden organspezifisch behandelt. Um neben der ersten Medikamentenstudie mehr evidenzbasiertes Wissen zu generieren, werden weitere Projekte etabliert, u. a. ein internationales PCD-Register. Hierüber wird Patienten der Zugang zu klinischen und wissenschaftlichen Studien erleichtert und die Vernetzung behandelnder Zentren gefördert. Des Weiteren können Erkenntnisse über eine Genotyp-spezifische Erkrankungsschwere erlangt werden, um folglich die therapeutische Versorgung der Patienten zu verbessern und somit zu individualisieren.

Abstract
Rare diseases are collectively common, affecting an estimated 6.2% of the world's population [1], but each rare disease affects fewer than 4 to 5 in 10 000 individuals in Europe or less than 200 000 individuals in the USA [2]. Patients with rare diseases are often disadvantaged by late diagnosis and off-label prescribing of medicines [3]. Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetic disease of impaired motile ciliary function that does not have a unique International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 code or licensed treatments, although Q34.8 denoting “other specified malformations of the respiratory tract” including nasopharyngeal atresia has also been applicable to PCD since 2017. The disease is characterised by mucus stagnation leading to chronic airway infection, bronchiectasis, chronic rhinosinusitis, reduced fertility and abnormalities of organ laterality with an associated increased risk of complex congenital heart disease [4]. The estimated prevalence of PCD in Europe is around 1 in 10 000 to 1 in 20 000 [5]. The international PCD cohort (iPCD) includes over 3800 PCD patients ranging in age from under 12 months to over 80 years, from Europe, Northern and Southern America, Australia and Western Asia [6]. Under-diagnosis of PCD is due to a lack of awareness among the general public and physicians in general, as well as a lack of diagnostic expertise in some countries [7]. Tools to help physicians identify patients needing testing (e.g. PICADAR) [8] and the European Respiratory Society (ERS) guidelines for diagnostic testing [9] aim to improve this. In contrast to cystic fibrosis (CF), a monogenic disease, PCD is caused by mutations in one of at least 45 identified genes for which there is no effective mutation-specific therapy; this is likely to be a long way off for most patients [10]. Thus, treatment aims to prevent and manage disease complications. Even then, the lack of an evidence base for supportive treatment in PCD means that treatment recommendations are based on expert opinion and extrapolated from CF despite differing pathophysiology [11]. Primary ciliary dyskinesia, a rare disease causing bronchiectasis, lacks a sound evidence base for treatment. @beatpcd proposes 1) forming a PCD European clinical trial network to address this situation and 2) conducting n-of-1 trials to access medication.https://bit.ly/3j5blfM

Abstract
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is an inherited ciliopathy leading to chronic suppurative lung disease, chronic rhinosinusitis, middle ear disease, sub-fertility and situs abnormalities. As PCD is rare, it is important that scientists and clinicians foster international collaborations to share expertise in order to provide the best possible diagnostic and management strategies. 'Better Experimental Approaches to Treat Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia' (BEAT-PCD) is a multidisciplinary network funded by EU COST Action (BM1407) to coordinate innovative basic science and clinical research from across the world to drive advances in the field. The fourth and final BEAT-PCD Conference and fifth PCD Training School were held jointly in March 2019 in Poznan, Poland. The varied program of plenaries, workshops, break-out sessions, oral and poster presentations were aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of delegates, whilst also providing a collaborative platform to exchange ideas. In this final BEAT-PCD conference we were able to build upon programmes developed throughout the lifetime of the COST Action. These proceedings report on the conference, highlighting some of the successes of the BEAT-PCD programme.

Targeting Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the Sputum of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia Patients with a Combinatorial Strategy Having Antibacterial and Anti-Virulence Potential. Int J Mol Sci 2019; 21:ijms21010069. [PMID: 31861859 PMCID: PMC6981532 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21010069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2019] [Revised: 12/16/2019] [Accepted: 12/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
In primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) patients, Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major opportunistic pathogen, frequently involved in chronic infections of the lower airways. Infections by this bacterial species correlates with a worsening clinical prognosis and recalcitrance to currently available therapeutics. The antimicrobial peptide, lin-SB056-1, in combination with the cation chelator ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), was previously demonstrated to be bactericidal against P. aeruginosa in an artificial sputum medium. The purpose of this study was to validate the anti-P. aeruginosa activity of such a combination in PCD sputum and to evaluate the in vitro anti-virulence effects of EDTA. In combination with EDTA, lin-SB056-1 was able to significantly reduce the load of endogenous P. aeruginosa ex vivo in the sputum of PCD patients. In addition, EDTA markedly reduced the production of relevant bacterial virulence factors (e.g., pyocyanin, proteases, LasA) in vitro by two representative mucoid strains of P. aeruginosa isolated from the sputum of PCD patients. These results indicate that the lin-SB056-1/EDTA combination may exert a dual antimicrobial and anti-virulence action against P. aeruginosa, suggesting a therapeutic potential against chronic airway infections sustained by this bacterium.
