DNAH5 (Dynein axonemal heavy chain 5) variants and mutations

DNAH5 (also known as Dynein axonemal heavy chain 5) is a human protein-coding gene encoding a dynein axonemal heavy chain 5 protein. A motor protein in motile cilia that helps generate the force needed for ciliary beating. Pathogenic variants can cause primary ciliary dyskinesia, with chronic respiratory symptoms and sometimes altered organ laterality. This analysis covers 6,727 DNAH5 variants and mutations. Of these, 91% have computational variant effect predictions. Disease context includes primary ciliary dyskinesia, Heterotaxy, and hereditary disease. Example DNAH5 variants include I4T, I4V, and R6G.
