  • aPresence of transcript isoform is based solely on manual curation of sequenced reads of the sample prepared following the optimized PacBio long transcript workflow.

  • bPresence of transcript isoform is based solely on results of Samplix Xdrop targeted enrichment.

  • cEvents are validated using raw sequencing reads of an ONT long-read sequencing data set of independent retina samples.

  • dThe association of CIB2 with USH1J has been called into question (Booth et al. 2018).
