Table III.

Analysis of ciliary dynein arms by transmission electron microscopy. Results for individual ultrastructural defects are for individual dynein arm counts and the percentage of cilia with dynein arm defects. Results are expressed as the mean (95% CIs)

Dynein arm counts
Cilia with dynein arm defects (%) Inner and outer dynein arm defect (%) Outer dynein arm defect (%) Inner dynein arm defect (%)
Ultrastructural defect Outer Inner
Inner and outer dynein arm defect 0.6 (0.5-0.7) 0.6 (0.4-0.7) 96.4 (94.5-98.2) 85.5 (74.3-96.7) 2.1 (0.5-3.6) 8.8 (0.0-19.5)
Outer dynein arm defect 1.3 (1.0-1.7) 6.3 (6.0-6.7) 96.0 (92.9-99.2) 5.1 (3.1-7.1) 90.9 (87.4-94.4) 0.0 (0.0-0.0)
