There is absence or shortening of Dynein arms that are responsible for the coordinated bending of cilia.* Approximately half of the patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia have kartageners syndrome.Kartagener's syndrome* Bronchiectasis-Poor functioning of cilia contribute to retention of secretions and recurrent infections* Differential pulses/Blood Sinusitis-Lack of ciliary activity interferes with bacterial clearance, predisposing sinuses to infection is a manifestation of Coarctation* Situs inversus embryogenesis-Due to ineffective cell motility during* Infertitlity-Due to ineffective mobility of sperm
