Figure 1
Genetic heterogeneity among the six major non-syndromic inherited retinal diseases (IRDs). Numbers outside of the ellipses correspond to the number of non-syndromic IRD genes responsible for the specific disease, while numbers within the ellipses correspond either to disease-specific genes or to genes mutated in two or more diseases. The non-redundant total of genes associated with these non-syndromic IRDs is 146. RP: retinitis pigmentosa; LCA: Leber congenital amaurosis; CD/CRD: cone dystrophy/cone-rod dystrophy; CSNB: congenital stationary night blindness; MD: macular dystrophy; EVR: exudative vitreoretinopathy.
