♀	phenotype observed in females
♂	phenotype observed in males
N	normal phenotype

vision/eye

increased retina apoptosis ( J:96926 )

• at E15.5 retinal ganglion cell apoptosis is seen and at E17.5 loss of these cells is accelerated and propagated from the central to the peripheral retina

retina ganglion cell degeneration ( J:96926 )

• a loss of 70% of the retinal ganglion cells in the retinal ganglion cell layer is seen at 6 weeks of age

abnormal optic nerve morphology ( J:96926 )

• fewer and less fasciculated axon bundles projecting into the optic disc

• the cross-sectional area of the optic nerve is reduced

• an increased proportion of the axons project into the ipsilateral optic track or into the optic nerve of the opposite eye

abnormal optic nerve innervation ( J:134978 )

• retinal ganglion axons fail to reach the midline at E13.5

• At E15.5, the axons in the optic nerve are less fasciculated and appear to be grouped into two bundles

• in addition, a substantial portion of retinal ganglion cells fail to send out axons or their axons do not exit the optic cup

vision/eye

retina ganglion cell degeneration ( J:134978 )

• retinal ganglion cells expressing Pou4f1 are severely reduced in adult retina

• adult mice only have about 5% the number of retinal ganglion cells as do the controls

• genesis of RGCs are not affected as they are present in E13.5 embryos

optic nerve hypoplasia ( J:134978 )

• the optic nerve is barely detectable in adults with only a very limited number of axon bundles present
