Ciliary disease

Ciliary disease involves problems with tiny, hair-like structures called cilia that line many cells in the body. These cilia help move fluids, mucus, and detect environmental signals. When they don't work properly, it can cause a range of health issues, such as chronic respiratory infections, sinus problems, and issues with organ placement (such as mirror-image organs). It can also affect reproductive organs, leading to fertility problems. Some ciliary diseases are inherited, meaning they run in families. Overall, ciliary disease disrupts normal cellular functions vital for health and development.
