Primary ciliary dyskinesia syndrome is characterised by chronic sinusitis, bronchiectasis, and, in 50% of cases, dextrocardia. It is generally believed to be inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder. In this report, we describe a family consisting of a mother and her five male children, the offspring of three different fathers, all of whom have this syndrome. This argues for either an X linked or autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Cytogenetic and FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridisation) analyses were done on the mother and one son and were found to be normal.

D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
D007619 Kartagener Syndrome An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a triad of DEXTROCARDIA; INFERTILITY; and SINUSITIS. The syndrome is caused by mutations of DYNEIN genes encoding motility proteins which are components of sperm tails, and CILIA in the respiratory and the reproductive tracts.

D004398 Dyneins A family of multi-subunit cytoskeletal motor proteins that use the energy of ATP hydrolysis, generated by a ring of AAA ATPASES in the dynein heavy chain, to power a variety of cellular functions. Dyneins fall into two major classes based upon structural and functional criteria.
