Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) constitute a prevalent group of inherited ocular disorders characterized by marked genetic diversity alongside moderate clinical variability. Among these, ABCA4-related eye pathology stands as a prominent form affecting the retina. In this study, we conducted an in-depth analysis of 96 patients harboring ABCA4 variants in the European part of Russia. Notably, the complex allele c.[1622T>C;3113C>T] (p.Leu541Pro;Ala1038Val, or L541P;A1038V) and the variant c.5882G>A (p.Gly1961Glu or G1961E) emerged as primary contributors to this ocular pathology within this population. Additionally, we elucidated distinct disease progression characteristics associated with the G1961E variant. Furthermore, our investigation revealed that patients with loss-of-function variants in ABCA4 were more inclined to develop phenotypes distinct from Stargardt disease. These findings provide crucial insights into the genetic and clinical landscape of ABCA4-related retinal dystrophies in this specific population.
