  1. This table groups data from the diagnosed PCD patients and affected siblings. Fraction numbers refer to the number of positive patients (numerator) on the total number of patients studied (denominator) for the indicated item. Frequencies of signs in patients are expressed as + and – symbols: ++++, presence of signs in all patients; -, absence of signs in all patients; +++, ++ and +, presence of the sign in more than 75%, between 25 to 75%, and less than 25% of patients, respectively. a Reference laboratory values and age ranges are those published by Verhoeven et al. [38], patient data being expressed as either range or individual values. GAMT, guanidinoacetate methyltransferase; CRTR, creatine transporter SLC6A8.
