Figure 8
Expression of disease-related genes in retinal cell classes. (a-l) Heat maps show expression of genes implicated in each of 12 groups of blinding diseases described in the text. Color represents the scaled expression level of genes among all cell classes. Thus, the heat maps accurately reflect the order of expression among cell classes for each gene but not the absolute levels of expression. Asterisks mark genes that were included because of clinical interest but fell below the threshold noted to the text.
