Quantification of alternative splicing events described in genes causing IRDs. (A) Percentage of IRD genes presenting alternative splicing events. Only 10% of the IRD genes produces a unique transcript, and most genes (54%) generate between 2 and 10 transcripts. (B) Percentage of IRD genes showing diverse protein-coding transcripts. Only 15% of the IRD genes produce one protein isoform. Most of the genes (53%) produce between 2 and 5 diverse protein isoforms. The list of genes was obtained from https://sph.uth.edu/retnet/ (accessed on 20 January 2021). Information about the number and type of the transcripts was obtained from https://www.ensembl.org/ (accessed on 20 January 2021).
