Fig. 2. Summary of genetic contributions to inherited retinal degeneration (IRD) .

Fig. 2

(a) Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis in a cohort of 500 IRD subjects reveals single-nucleotide variant (SNV)/small indel solutions in 55.6% cases, copy-number variation (CNV) solutions in 8.8% cases, and MAK-Alu insertions in 1.4% cases. (b) Breakdown of CNV solutions by gene, with the number of patients solved by SNVs in the same gene. Note that genes that commonly have SNV solutions (USH2A, EYS) also tend to have CNV solutions, a notable exception being PRPF31, in which CNVs are more common than expected based on the number of SNVs.
