Schematic of retinal layers and associated genes discussed within this review. The left image shows a histologic section of a feline retina (with comparable anatomy to the human retina). The right panel depicts a schematic showing the genes detailed in this review and their site of expression, grouped per biological process. Inner limiting membrane (ILM), nerve fiber layer (NFL), ganglion cell layer (GCL), inner plexiform layer (IPL), inner nuclear layer (INL), outer plexifom layer (OPL), outer nuclear layer (ONL), external limiting membrane (ELM), photoreceptor inner segment (IS), connecting cilium (CC), photoreceptor outer segment (OS), retinal pigmentary epithelium (RPE). Ganglion cell (GC), amacrine cell (AC), bipolar cell (BC), horizontal cell (HC), rod (R), cone (C).
