Implementation of a gene panel for genetic diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia
Abstract Introduction Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is characterized by an alteration in the ciliary structure causing difficulty in the clearance of respiratory secretions. Diagnosis is complex and based on a combination of techniques. The objective of this study was to design a gene panel including all known causative genes, and to corroborate their diagnostic utility in a cohort of Spanish patients. Methods This was a multicenter cross-sectional study of patients with a high suspicion of PCD according to European Respiratory Society criteria. We designed a gene panel for massive sequencing using SeqCap EZ capture technology that included 44 genes associated with PCD. Results We includ…
Implementación de un panel de genes para el diagnóstico genético de la discinesia ciliar primaria
Resumen Introduccion La discinesia ciliar primaria (DCP) es una enfermedad caracterizada por una alteracion en la estructura ciliar que impide el correcto aclaramiento de las secreciones respiratorias. Su diagnostico es complejo y se basa en una combinacion de tecnicas. El objetivo de este estudio fue disenar un panel de genes incluyendo todos los genes causantes conocidos y comprobar su utilidad diagnostica en una cohorte de pacientes espanoles. Metodos Estudio transversal multicentrico de pacientes con sospecha elevada de DCP, aplicando los criterios de la European Respiratory Society.
