BEAT-PCD supported research projects
For a rare disease such as PCD, international collaboration is essential to improve diagnosis and care. Therefore, BEAT-PCD supports international collaborative projects that aim to fill knowledge gaps and and answer important questions for PCD research.
Research surveys
We have a number of important collaborations which are currently running surveys. All three projects have been selected as important in the advancement of PCD research and services worldwide and we would appreciate your efforts to complete all 3 if possible. The surveys ask for information about current PCD diagnosis and care in your centre for the following purposes (click on the appropriate topic):
Genetic testing strategies to inform the impact of results of the ClinGen gene panel project.
Diagnostic test availability to inform the joint ERS/ATS PCD diagnostic guideline
Follow up to previous BEATPCD project to assess improvement in PCD Services - please download the instructions and documents for survey 3# here.
