    4. In individuals with primary ciliary dyskinesia and central pair defects, the CP-associated protein SPEF2 is absent in HYDIN-mutant cells. 41 of 189 individuals had undetectable SPEF2 and were subjected to a genetic analysis, which revealed one novel loss-of-function mutation in SPEF2 and 3 reported and 13 novel HYDIN mutations in 15 individuals. A mutation of SPEF2 is causative for PCD with a CP defect.

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
