This study aims to characterize the clinical spectrum and genetic landscape of IRDs in Portugal. Multicentre, cross-sectional, cohort study comprising consecutive patients with a clinical diagnosis of IRD and available genetic results, enroled in the IRD-PT registry (retina.com.pt). Among the 1369 patients enroled from 1125 families, the most frequently observed phenotype was non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa (40.8%). A genetically confirmed diagnosis was achieved in 72.3% of families. Consanguinity was observed in one-fifth of cases, contributing to a higher frequency of homozygous variants within this cohort. Disease-causing genotypes were distributed across 136 different genes, with ABCA4 (13.0%), EYS (10.0%) and USH2A (6.9%) being the most frequently mutated genes. Overall, these results from a nationwide cohort significantly advance our understanding of the clinical and genetic spectrum of IRDs in Portugal, laying the groundwork for future studies to identify patients eligible for targeted therapies and to describe the natural history of these diseases.
