Primary ciliary dyskinesia-34 (CILD34) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by childhood onset of recurrent sinopulmonary infections due to impaired ciliary function. Affected males are infertile due to impaired sperm function and viability. Laterality defects have not been observed in this type of CILD (summary by El Khouri et al., 2016). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of primary ciliary dyskinesia, see CILD1 (244400).

Primary ciliary dyskinesia-48 without situs inversus (CILD48) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by recurrent upper and lower respiratory infections due to impaired ciliary movement and clearance. Affected individuals often develop chronic lung disease. Since the defect involves the radial spokes and central pairs of microtubules in motile cilia, situs abnormalities do not occur (summary by Cho et al., 2020). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of primary ciliary dyskinesia, see CILD1 (244400).
