[HTML][HTML] Management of primary ciliary dyskinesia/Kartagener's syndrome in infertile male patients and current progress in defining the underlying genetic mechanism
YW Sha, L Ding, P Li - Asian journal of andrology, 2014 - journals.lww.com
Kartagener's syndrome (KS) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease accounting for
approximately 50% of the cases of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). As it is accompanied by
many complications, PCD/KS severely affects the patient's quality of life. Therapeutic
approaches for PCD/KS aim to enhance prevention, facilitate rapid definitive diagnosis,
avoid misdiagnosis, maintain active treatment, control infection and postpone the
development of lesions. In male patients, sperm flagella may show impairment in or …
