vision/eye
• ocular defects are observed in 0.8% of homozygotes derived from intercrosses of homozygotes and in 3.3% of offspring derived by intercrossing heterozygous mutants between generations N8 and N12, but not in earlier generations

reproductive system
• a gender-dependent effect is observed on offspring survival; homozygous litters exhibit a gender bias with a 1.5 fold excess of males that differs from the predicted 1:1 ratio; a reversed gender bias is seen in offspring from intercross matings in which both parents are heterozygous, with a ratio of males to females of 0.7:1

Overview of ocular phenotype of Nat2tm1Esim/Nat2+ mice

vision/eye
• ocular defects are observed in 5.5% of A/J offspring derived by backcrossing of wild-type mice to heterozygous mutants
• mutants with microphthalmia exhibit complete absence of the lens tissue
• cataract analysis shows a failure of the lens to separate from the cornea, plaques within the lens tissue, and disorganized lens tissue in the anterior subcapsular region
• microphthalmic eyes show complete absence of lens tissue with an intact cornea but globe filled with folded retina
• most severe cares show no evidence of an eye

nervous system
• incidence of incomplete neural tube closure amongst heterozygous offspring derived by crossing wild-type and homozygous mice is 14%; most often the position of the defect is caudal to the hindbrain, at the cervical level

vision/eye
• unilateral or bilateral anophthalmia is observed in 1% of backcross and intercross offspring from N8 to N12

embryo
• incidence of incomplete neural tube closure amongst heterozygous offspring derived by crossing wild-type and homozygous mice is 14%; most often the position of the defect is caudal to the hindbrain, at the cervical level
