Red List (low evidence)

The ClinGen Motile Ciliopathy expert panel has classified the association of autosomal recessive DNAH6 variants to primary ciliary dyskinesia (MONDO:0016575) as 'Disputed'. More information can be found in https://search.clinicalgenome.org/CCID:008758.

The reason for the classification as follows:
"At this time, the only DNAH6 variant containing individuals present in the literature have limited to no features of PCD. No scorable case level genetic evidence for PCD was obtained for this curation."

This gene has not been associated with relevant phenotypes either in OMIM or in Gene2Phenotype.
