Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare, inherited disorder characterized by abnormal structure or function of motile cilia, leading to impaired mucociliary clearance. It is a genetic condition causing chronic respiratory tract infections, sinusitis, and sometimes situs inversus. PCD is the modern preferred term; it was previously known by various legacy terms including immotile cilia syndrome.
