“The overall minimum global prevalence of PCD is calculated to be at least one in 7554 individuals, although this is likely to be an underestimate because some variants currently classified as VUS might be disease-causing and some pathogenic variants might not be detected by our methods.” ~ The global prevalence and ethnic heterogeneity of primary ciliary dyskinesia gene variants: a genetic database analysis https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanres/article/PIIS2213-2600(21)00453-7/fulltext

 

The PCD Artist Project is a collaborative effort by artist to raise awareness for PCD or primary ciliary dyskinesia and support the PCD Smiles program. Each artist who submitted art work to the project either has PCD or has a PCD friend or family member.

 

The PCD Artist Project’s 2022 exhibition merchandise ranges from apparel, giftware, home furnishings, and printed products such as posters, prints, wall art, and other items, all created from our exhibition; which can be viewed on PCD Smiles’s website. It is our hope that you support the PCD Smiles program by purchasing exhibition merchandise today.

 

🧡 All proceeds from the PCD Artist Project go to support the PCD Smiles Cheer Package program! 🧡
