HelpTest Code LAB3904 ImmuneSeq Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) Panel
Clinical System Name
ImmuneSeq Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) Panel
Description
Clinical Features
Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare motile ciliopathy characterized by neonatal respiratory distress, chronic wet cough and nasal congestion with onset in early childhood, recurrent respiratory tract infections resulting in bronchiectasis, laterality defects, and subfertility (Zariwala et al., 2019; Despotes et al., 2024). Causative variants in genes involved in the structure, function, and assembly of cilia have been identified in individuals with PCD. More recently, genotype-phenotype relationships have been reported in PCD (Despotes et al., 2024).
The Seattle Children’s Hospital Molecular Laboratory offers testing of 56 genes for the Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia panel. Reported genes are listed below.
Prevalence
The estimated incidence of PCD has been reported as 1:10,000 to 1:30,000 (Despotes et al., 2024).
Inheritance
PCD may occur de novo or may be inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked manner (Zariwala et al., 2019; Despotes et al., 2024).

*Gene with known pseudogenes that may impact ability to detect variants or have additional limitations resulting in low coverage.
Additional testing options - we offer the following additional options for custom Immunodeficiency testing:
- Single-gene sequencing When there is strong clinical suspicion, any gene listed on our Immunodeficiency Expanded Panel is available as a single-gene sequencing test (order as Targeted Gene Next-Generation Sequencing (LAB3617))
- Reflex to expanded sequencing panel The option to reflex to the ImmuneSeq Expanded Panel when the focused panel test is non-diagnostic.
Please contact LabGC@seattlechildrens.org if you would like to order reflexive testing after the original testing report has been issued.

Methodology
Method: Next Generation Sequencing technology using an Illumina NextSeq instrument. Target region includes coding exons and a minimum of 10 bp of flanking intron boundaries of the genes tested. Target enrichment performed using a custom Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) Exome Hyb Panel v2.
Average coverage ~150x.
Limitations:
This testing is performed on an exome backbone with analysis restricted to the panel genes. This method can detect single nucleotide variants (SNVs), small deletions, small insertions, and copy number variants in the regions targeted. Some regions cannot be efficiently captured due to sequence homology or sequence properties. This method will not detect large insertions and deletions, complex indels, structural variants (e.g. inversions, translocations), short tandem repeats, or other complex variants. Variants located outside of targeted regions will not be detected.
Based on validation studies, the bioinformatics pipeline showed precision and detection >99% for SNVs in regions with coverage greater than 20x and high mapping quality. Sensitivity for CNVs involving multiple genes is >99% and sensitivity for intragenic CNVs is >90%. Mosaic sequence variants present at <25% allele frequency may not be reliably detected, and detection sensitivity is dependent on the nature of the variant. The sensitivity of detection of mosaic copy number variants has not been evaluated.
Reported Gene Lists
The Seattle Children's Hospital Molecular Laboratory offers different immune disorder panels based on clinical presentation with additional testing options. Reported gene lists are below and detailed descriptions are available. All panels include copy number analysis and may identify mosaicism.
