Try:
Code:
awk -F"\t" '{gsub(", ",",");sub(" *$","");n=split($3,s,",");for (i=1;i<=n;i++) a[s[i]]++}END{for (i in a) print i,a[i]}' file

Code:
perl -F'\t' -alne '{$F[2]=~s/ *$//;@array=(@array,split(/, /,$F[2]));} 
END{
foreach $item(@array){$hash{$item}++;} 
foreach $key (keys %hash) {print $key."\t".$hash{$key};}
}' input_file
