Session Description

Primary ciliary dyskinesia and non-CF bronchiectasis are under-recognized conditions leading to significant morbidity in pediatric patients. From this state-of-the-art review, clinicians will understand the recent advances in diagnostics, genotype-phenotype correlations, therapeutics, and clinical outcomes in these conditions.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to:

  • Discuss the advances and limitations in current primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) diagnostics
  • Recognize genotype-phenotype correlations in PCD and how these affect clinical outcomes
  • Understand how endotyping can change our understanding and therapies of non-CF bronchiectasis
