【Objective】Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic disorder caused by functional impairment of cilia throughout the body. In addition to genetic analysis, electron microscopy is required for proper diagnosis of the disease, which makes the diagnosis difficult. 【Methods】We examined 90 patients (ages ranging from 1 month to 66 years) who had been diagnosed as PCD for the past ten years. Gene variants as well as CNV was examined either by exome sequencing NGS panel for 32 known PCD genes with the Ion Torrent PGM system, or by whole-exome sequencing with the Ion Proton semiconductor sequencer system (Life Technologies; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). Variants found were validated by Sanger sequencing. Nasal nitric oxide concentration was measured, and the nasal ciliary ultrastructure was examined with an electron microscope when possible. Phenotypes have been examined and compared to the genetic analysis results.【Results】Disease causing genes were DRC1 in 31 cases, DNAH5 in 29 cases, DNAH11 in 7,CCDC39 in 4, and other genes in 18. When we compared these results with those reported in other ethical groups, Japanese patients had very characteristic disease causing genes and variants.【Conclusion】The knowledge of the prevalent PCD genes will be useful for making strategy of genetic testing in the future.
