Rationale: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is characterized by recurrent airway infections and randomization of left-right body asymmetry. To date, autosomal recessive mutations have only been identified in a small number of patients involving DNAI1 and DNAH5, which encode outer dynein arm components. Methods: We screened 109 Caucasian PCD families originating from Europe and North America for presence of DNAH5 mutations by haplotype analyses and/or sequencing. Results: Haplotype analyses excluded linkage in 26 families. In 30 PCD families we identified 33 novel (12 nonsense, 8 frameshift, 5 splicing and 8 missense mutations), and two known DNAH5 mutations. We observed clustering of mutations within five exons harbouring 27 mutant alleles (52%) out of the 52 detected mutant alleles. Interestingly, six (32%) of 19 PCD families with DNAH5 mutations from North America carry the novel founder mutation 10815delT. Electron microscopic analyses in 22 PCD patients with mutations detected invariably outer dynein arm ciliary defects. High-resolution immunofluorescence imaging of respiratory epithelial cells from eight patients with DNAH5 mutations showed mislocalization of mutant DNAH5 and accumulation at the microtubule organizing centers. Mutant DNAH5 was absent throughout the ciliary axoneme in seven patients and remained detectable in the proximal ciliary axoneme in one patient carrying compound heterozygous splicing mutations at the 3'-end (IVS75-2A>T, IVS76+5G>A). In a pre-selected subpopulation with documented outer dynein arm defects (n=47), DNAH5 mutations were identified in 53%. Conclusions: DNAH5 is frequently mutated in PCD patients exhibiting outer dynein arm defects and mutations cluster in five exons.
