Abstract

The article in Acta Paediatrica explores the incidence of primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) in diverse communities, focusing on the Bedouin-Muslim and Jewish populations in southern Israel. The study found a higher incidence of PCD in the Bedouin-Muslim community compared to the Jewish community, with specific gene mutations more common in the former. While clinical characteristics were similar between the two groups, the age at diagnosis trended younger in the Bedouin-Muslim population. The study highlights the impact of consanguinity rates on PCD incidence and the importance of tailored diagnostic strategies in communities with high rates of consanguinity.
