Welcome to CiliaVar
Welcome to CiliaVar, the first dedicated open access gene variant database for the motile ciliopathy Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD).
This website is designed to support researchers, the general public, patients and their families by providing detailed, curated data on PCD-related gene variants.
We aim to enhance the understanding of PCD genetics and improve genetic diagnosis of PCD by classifying all known variants responsible for PCD, including published and clinical data.
More detailed information is available for health professionals and researchers at the BEAT-PCD website.
Intended use
CiliaVar is intended to serve as a valuable tool for the medical and scientific community, providing up-to-date information on genetic variants associated with PCD.
Researchers can utilise CiliaVar to explore the genetic underpinnings of PCD, and better understand specific variants and combinations of variants.
For patient information and support, we encourage users to visit the BEAT-PCD website, which provides extensive educational resources and community support for individuals and families affected by PCD.
Unintended use
CiliaVar is not designed for use as a standalone diagnostic tool or for making direct clinical decisions without the input of qualified healthcare professionals.
The information contained within this database should not be used to self-diagnose or self-treat PCD or any related condition.
Users should always consult with a healthcare provider before making any medical decisions based on the data provided by CiliaVar.
Our database is meant to complement, not replace, professional medical advice and consultation.
