Analysis Tools
mortality/aging
|

|
|
• some mice die between E14.5 and E18.5
|
vision/eye
|
• the ventral portion is thickened at E14.5
|
|
• ventral rotation is seen at E14.5
|
|
• at E14.5 all mice have a persistent and hyperplasic primary vitreous body
|
|
• closer eyelid folds in mice at E14.5
|
|
• small optic disc coloboma is seen in 90% of mice at E14.5 but not in any mice at E18.5 suggesting a delay in optic disc formation
|
|
