Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) is an inherited disease that affects cilia - tiny, hair-like structures that line the respiratory tract, middle and inner ear, reproductive organs and ventricles of the brain. When ciliary function is lost, it can cause breathing problems, chronic infections, and other disorders. The impact of this damage, especially in the lungs, can be devastating.

The PCD Foundation was started in 2002 to address severe unmet needs in the PCD patient community, and to provide the leadership and resources needed to support increased research, accelerated diagnosis, improved health, and ultimately, a cure for PCD.
