Which of the following statement regarding primary ciliary dyskinesia is true:

  1. It is idiopathic
  2. It is heterogenous group of inherited autosomal dominant diseases
  3. It could involve other ciliated tissue
  4. It could be associated with a reduced production of mucous
A

It could involve other ciliated tissue. In fact otitis media, reproductive problems, renal fibrosis and dilation of renal tubules can be seen.

  2. It is heterogenous group of inherited autosomal dominant diseases = it is recessive
  3. it could be associated with a reduced production of mucous = usually, there is an excessive production of mucous (difficult to rid off)
