“Ciliary activity is also responsible for organ placement in the developing embryo. When ciliary function is impaired, congenital defects of the structure and/or placement of internal organs may occur. Complete reversal of the organs, a condition called situs inversus totalis, occurs in approximately 50% of all PCD patients. Heterotaxy and situs ambiguus (‘ambiguous’), where organ laterality is interrupted, may also occur. Polysplenia (multiple spleens), asplenia (no spleen), congenital heart defects, vascular abnormalities and cystic lesions in the kidneys, spleen, liver or pancreas, may all be seen in PCD with heterotaxy/situsambiguus.” ~ The American PCD Foundation
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 2023 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.
