Figure 3. Functional classification of 208 RD genes and association to cell types or tissue compartments where this function contributes to vision-related tasks or to keeping the tissue integrity.

(a) Boxes represent the 208 RD genes, which are coloured according to their RD disease classification. Genes are boxed according to their functional classification and assigned to either the retinal cell type where this process plays a role, or to functions affecting other retinal compartments and retinal tissue development and integrity, or to presumably cell general functions. (b) Statistic of proteins in the different disease classes and their association to retina-specific and cell and tissue general functions.
