Any primary ciliary dyskinesia in which the cause of the disease is a mutation in the GAS8 gene.
Features include: Chronic rhinitis, Ciliary dyskinesia, Recurrent lower respiratory tract infections, and Bronchiectasis and 6 more.
Organ System | Phenotype Count | Example Features |
|---|---|---|
Lungs and breathing | 4 | Recurrent lower respiratory tract infections, Bronchiectasis, Recurrent bronchitis |
DRC4 encodes dynein regulatory complex subunit 4 (478 aa). Component of the nexin-dynein regulatory complex (N-DRC), a key regulator of ciliary/flagellar motility which maintains the alignment and integrity of the distal axoneme and regulates microtubule sliding in motile axonemes. Highest expression in Pituitary (28.6 TPM) and Thyroid (26.3 TPM).
Primary ciliary dyskinesia 33 is caused by mutations in the DRC4 gene on chromosome 16.
DRC4 is classified as a druggable target with score 0.0.
Genetic testing for DRC4 is available. Testing is considered confirmatory for diagnosis.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for primary ciliary dyskinesia 33 has been reported in the published literature.
No clinical trials have been registered for primary ciliary dyskinesia 33.
34 publications have been identified in PubMed for primary ciliary dyskinesia 33. Research spans Epidemiology / Natural History (29%), Case Report / Case Series (21%), and Basic Science / Preclinical (18%).
