This study provides preliminary data on the clinical and genetic characteristics of PCD patients in the southwestern region of Saudi Arabia. We found that DNAH5 and RSPH9 genes were the most common genes among the studied population. Furthermore, PCD should be considered for each child with early NRD and laterality defects, and further confirmatory tests are recommended. These findings also highlight the need for greater awareness of the disease in daily clinical practice to facilitate early diagnosis and avoid irreversible lung damage
