MCIDAS mutations result in a mucociliary clearance disorder with reduced generation of multiple motile cilia

Abstract: Reduced generation of multiple motile cilia (RGMC) is a rare mucociliary clearance disorder. Affected persons suffer from recurrent infections of upper and lower airways because of highly reduced numbers of multiple motile respiratory cilia. Here we report recessive loss-of-function and missense mutations in MCIDAS-encoding Multicilin, which was shown to promote the early steps of multiciliated cell differentiation in Xenopus. MCIDAS mutant respiratory epithelial cells carry only one or two cilia per cell, whi… Show more

“…There are now over thirty known genes responsible for >60% of cases. Recent publication of mutations in genes causing reduced numbers of cilia with normal motility and ultrastructure [13,14] in patients with a PCD phenotype, brings to question whether yet another change of name is required. Gene panels are now used as part of the diagnostic pathway in a number of countries.…”

“…For example, defects of nexin link components [63], central pair components [64], ciliary biogenesis defects [14] and defects caused by DNAH11 [65,66], usually cannot be visualized by classic TEM. Thus, normal ultrastructure cannot rule out PCD.…”
