The ciliary axoneme has a 9\u2009+\u20092 microtubule structure consisting of nine peripheral doublets surrounding a central pair apparatus (CPA), which plays a critical role in regulating proper ciliary function. We have previously shown that mouse models with mutations in CPA genes\n                    <jats:italic>CFAP221<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>CFAP54<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and\n                    <jats:italic>SPEF2<\/jats:italic>\n                    have a PCD phenotype with defects in ciliary motility. In this study, we investigated potential genetic interaction between these CPA genes by generating each combination of double heterozygous and double homozygous mutants. No detectable cilia-related phenotypes were observed in double heterozygotes, but all three double homozygous mutant lines exhibit early mortality and typically develop severe PCD-associated phenotypes of hydrocephalus, mucociliary clearance defects in the upper airway, and abnormal spermatogenesis. Double homozygous cilia are generally intact and display a normal morphology and distribution. Spermiogenesis is aborted in double homozygotes, with an absence of mature flagella on elongating spermatids and epididymal sperm. These findings identify genetic interactions between CPA genes and genetic mechanisms regulating the CPA and motile cilia function.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-020-69359-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,23]],"date-time":"2020-07-23T06:05:06Z","timestamp":1595484306000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Genetic interaction between central pair apparatus genes CFAP221, CFAP54, and SPEF2 in mouse models of primary ciliary dyskinesia"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Casey W.","family":"McKenzie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lance","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,7,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"69359_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"a028241","DOI":"10.1101\/cshperspect.a028241","volume":"9","author":"XM Bustamante-Marin","year":"2017","unstructured":"Bustamante-Marin, X.
