As expected, more extensive overlap was observed with bright-light-damage-induced genes, as one of our models was the constant, low-light-induced photoreceptor cell death model (C1qα, C4, Gbp1, H2-K1, H2-T2B, Irf7, Isgf3g, and Nrl); however, few genes were found to overlap with the general retinal injury models (diabetes: none; ischemia-reperfusion injury: none; retinal tears: Egr1, Fos, C1qβ, and Cebpδ; elevation of intraocular pressure: Egr1, Cebpδ; laser-induced injury: none) or with the photoreceptor cadherin knockout (C4 and Cebpδ). Here, CDH17 is linked to diabetes mellitus.
