Primary Investigator

Overview

Our purpose for this research study is to learn more about Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) through the creation of a secure electronic clinical registry. Through this registry, we will be able to follow people living with PCD over time to learn more about how PCD affects people’s health and the treatment people take.

Description

Researchers will record medical information about primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) from participants' records. This may include information about their diagnosis, testing, symptoms, and treatments they have undergone. Researchers will continue to follow participants' health journeys and record relevant health events. Other researchers may use de-identified information from the Registry to learn more about PCD.

  • Written informed consent, and assent for minors as applicable
  • Followed as a patient at a PCD Foundation Clinical and Research Network center in North America
