genes are associated with more severe pulmonary disease [55, 65, 66].
There is no cure for PCD and pulmonary management, therefore, aims to optimise health, social and psychological well-being whilst preventing the progression of lung damage. There have been few clinical trials in PCD and management is usually empirically based on evidence from CF. Given the differing underlying pathomechanisms and prognoses, evidence for PCD-speci c treatments is urgently needed. Lack of evidence for treatment leads to the disparity of care between countries, and likely detrimental effects on exacerbation frequency, future lung function and health care costs [67]. Recent consensus statements provide guidance for the care of patients with PCD [30, 68]. Since patients with PCD also have extra-pulmonary disease, multidisciplinary care is required by a team including pulmonologists, physiotherapists, audiologists, ENT, cardiologists and fertility experts [68, 69]. General care for bronchiectasis is considered later in this chapter.

Non-motile or ‘primary’ cilia are found on the surface of many cells in the body. An increasing number of diseases are attributed to abnormal motile or primary ciliary function, collectively known as ciliopathies (http://www.ciliopathyalliance.org). For example, dysfunction of primary cilia in the eye can cause retinitis pigmentosa, and in the kidney can cause autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) or nephronophthisis.
OFD1 is an X-linked gene associated with several overlapping ciliopathies including oral-facial-digit syndrome and

Joubert syndrome. Respiratory defects appear to be highly variable in males carrying OFD1 mutations. Where there is a motile cilia defect the condition is termed Simpson–Golabi– Behmel syndrome. These individuals suffer from bronchiectasis, PCD symptoms, overgrowth and can also have abnormally large kidneys, liver and spleen [70]. There are also several case reports of patients with PCD-like disease in association with retinitis pigmentosa caused by X-linked mutations in retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR).
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is an example of renal ciliopathy associated with bronchiectasis. It affects between 1 in 400 and 1 in 1000 people [71]. The disease most commonly manifests in adulthood and is caused by defective ciliary function in renal epithelial cells. Two genes, PKD1 and PKD2 coding for proteins known as polycystins have been implicated in the pathogenesis of ADPKD. In ADPKD, impaired primary cilial sensing results in abnormal intracellular signalling, cell hyperproliferation, and cyst formation [72]. A predisposition to bronchiectasis is recognised, although the mechanism for this is not fully understood [73].
Dysfunction of motile cilia and bronchiectasis are also described in some but not all cases of Bardet Biedl syndrome (BBS). A mutagenic syndrome characterised by retinal degeneration, obesity, polydactyly, cognitive impairment, kidney anomalies and hypogonadism [74, 75]. Bronchiectasis in BBS has been associated with the gene NPHP10.
Whereas one non-motile, primary cilium is found per cell there are multiple motile cilia in the respiratory tract. Defects in genes coding for proteins in the pathway responsible for the generation of multiple motile cilia can lead to a condition

Fig. 25.5 (a) Diagram of the transverse section of a respiratory cilium as seen by transmission electron microscopy. Motile cilia have a “9 + 2” arrangement with nine peripheral microtubule doublets surrounding a central pair of single microtubules running the length of the ciliary axoneme. Nexin links and radial spokes maintain the organised structure. Attached
to the peripheral microtubules are inner and outer dynein arms. Dynein is a mechanochemical ATPase responsible for generating the force for ciliary beating, hence abnormalities of the dynein arms affect ciliary beating.

termed ‘reduced generation of multiple motile cilia’ (RGMMC). Assessment of airway cells reveals only a few motile cilia per cell, resulting in signi cant impairment of the mucociliary escalator. Individuals present with PCD like symptoms of rhinitis, neonatal respiratory distress, otitis media, and recurrent chest infections. In CCNO and MCIDAS bronchiectasis usually occurs in childhood and can be severe. Due to the multiple motile cilia of the brain being affected, hydrocephalus is also common [76–78]. In contrast to PCD, RGMMC is not associated with situs inversus since the cilia in the embryonic node are not affected. Recently defects in one of the master regulators of ciliogenesis FOXJ1 have also been described to cause bronchiectasis in an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.
Primary Immunode ciency Disorders
Primary immunode ciency disorders (PID) account for a signi cant proportion of cases of bronchiectasis in developed countries. Series suggest as many as 7% of adults [79] and 20% of paediatric cases in higher-income countries may be attributable to PID [80]. PID includes a heterogeneous group of disorders of immune development or function affecting innate or adaptive immunity. Common variable immunode ciency (CVID), X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) and chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) are the most common immunode ciencies found in association with bronchiectasis [81].
Common Variable Immunode ciency
Common variable immunode ciency (CVID) has an estimated prevalence of 1 per 25–50,000 population and is the commonest PID. Presentation is usually in young adulthood but diagnosis may be delayed [82]. Patients affected by CVID display a defective antibody response to protein and polysaccharide antigens and low levels of immunoglobulin (Ig) G, IgA and/or IgM. Affected individuals are at risk of recurrent bacterial infection, autoimmune disease and malignancy [83]. Clinical features vary, perhaps refecting heterogeneity of underlying molecular defects or diseasemodifying factors. To date, a monogenic cause has been identi ed in only 2–10% of cases [84]. Many disease genes have been identi ed in CVID, including those encoding receptors, ligands and intracellular signalling molecules.
Possibly as a consequence of delayed diagnosis, the risk of bronchiectasis is greater in patients with CVID than in those with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) and may approach 70% [85]. The additional immune dysregulation associated with CVID might also contribute to this high rate of bronchiectasis. One prospective study of CVID and XLA patients on immunoglobulin replacement therapy found older age and lower IgA levels to be risk factors for bronchiectasis in CVID, in contrast to XLA where the incidence of pneumonia was the major risk factor [86].
X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia
X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) accounts for 85% of congenital agammaglobulinemia and is estimated to affect 1–2 per million people in the UK [87, 88]. It is characterised by an almost complete absence of circulating B lymphocytes and of all immunoglobulin [89]. Mutations of the Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene cause an incomplete block of B cell development at the pre-B cell stage [87]. Affected individuals are susceptible to infection by encapsulated bacteria and Mycoplasma. Autosomal recessive forms of agammaglobulinemia have been identi ed that are caused by mutations in genes that encode for other components of the pre-B cell receptor and its signalling pathway [90]. Pulmonary infections can occur shortly after birth but generally become noticeable beyond 6 months of age following the disappearance of maternal IgG. The most common age for diagnosis is under a year but presentations as late as 5 years have been known [91, 92]. Whilst the risk of developing signi cant lung disease increases over time, there is some evidence that severity can be reduced by early detection and treatment [93].
Chronic Granulomatous Disease and Other Disorders of Neutrophil Function
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) results from impaired function of NADPH oxidase. This enzyme is required for the effective functioning of the phagocytic respiratory burst and for superoxide production. Impaired NADPH oxidase is generally transmitted by X-linked inheritance but autosomal recessive variants are also recognised [94]. Mean age at presentation in autosomal recessive disease is 10 years, slightly later than X-linked disease where the mean is 5 years, suggestive of a more severe phenotype [95]. Patients are vulnerable to recurrent and severe bacterial and fungal infections, including Staphylococcus aureus, Burkholderia cepacia, Serratia marcescens, Nocardia and Aspergillus spp.
A similar pattern of recurrent pneumonia and lung aspergillosis may also be observed in patients with severe congenital neutropenia [96]. Most commonly this disorder occurs as a consequence of mutations in the gene encoding for neutrophil elastase [97] but it can also be attributable to mutations affecting a mitochondrial protein thought to be involved in protecting myeloid cells from apoptosis [98] or an endosomal protein involved in intracellular signalling [99]. The characteristic feature of this disease is low levels of circulating neutrophils and hence vulnerability to bacterial and fungal pathogens.
Other Immunode ciency Diseases Associated with Bronchiectasis
It is currently dif cult to identify many causes of innate immunode ciency, and it is likely that as new defects are discovered, many individuals currently described as suffering from ‘idiopathic bronchiectasis’ will be found to have an
