hm1

• Allelic Composition: Fscn2^tm2Sykk/Fscn2^tm2Sykk
• Genetic Background: involves: 129S4/SvJae * C57BL/6

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

vision/eye

abnormal retina morphology ( J:103713 )

abnormal photoreceptor outer segment morphology ( J:103713 )

• outer segments are extremely bent and misalignment of the outer segment discs is seen, especially near the distal end of connecting cilium

short photoreceptor outer segment ( J:103713 )

• shorter outer segment than in heterozygotes or wild-type at 4 and 24 weeks of age

thin retina inner nuclear layer ( J:103713 )

• thinner inner nuclear layer with fewer nuclei than in heterozygotes or wild-type at 24 weeks of age

thin retina outer nuclear layer ( J:103713 )

• thinner outer nuclear layer than in heterozygotes or wild-type at 4 and 24 weeks of age

increased susceptibility to age-related retinal degeneration ( J:103713 )

• retina degeneration increases with age

abnormal eye electrophysiology ( J:103713 )

abnormal cone electrophysiology ( J:103713 )

• photopic b-waves are significantly smaller at both early (4 weeks of age) and later ages (24-32 weeks) compared to heterozygotes and wild-type and progressively decrease with increasing age

abnormal rod electrophysiology ( J:103713 )

• scotopic a- and b-waves are significantly smaller at both early (4 weeks of age) and later ages (24-32 weeks) compared to heterozygotes and wild-type and progressively decrease with increasing age

nervous system

abnormal photoreceptor outer segment morphology ( J:103713 )

• outer segments are extremely bent and misalignment of the outer segment discs is seen, especially near the distal end of connecting cilium

short photoreceptor outer segment ( J:103713 )

• shorter outer segment than in heterozygotes or wild-type at 4 and 24 weeks of age

Genotype
MGI:3612482

ht2

• Allelic Composition: Fscn2^tm2Sykk/Fscn2⁺
• Genetic Background: involves: 129S4/SvJae * C57BL/6

vision/eye

abnormal retina morphology ( J:103713 )

short photoreceptor outer segment ( J:103713 )

• shorter outer segments than in wild-type at 4 and 24 weeks of age

thin retina inner nuclear layer ( J:103713 )

• thinner inner nuclear layer with reduced cell counts than in wild-type at 24 weeks of age

thin retina outer nuclear layer ( J:103713 )

• thinner outer nuclear layer with reduced cell counts than in wild-type at 4 and 24 weeks of age

increased susceptibility to age-related retinal degeneration ( J:103713 )

• decrease in rod function that worsens with increasing age and is followed by a reduction of cone function

abnormal eye electrophysiology ( J:103713 )

abnormal cone electrophysiology ( J:103713 )

• photopic b-waves are smaller than in wild-type at later ages (24-32 weeks) but not at early ages (4 weeks)

• photopic b-wave amplitudes decrease much later than the decrease in the scotopic b-wave amplitudes

abnormal rod electrophysiology ( J:103713 )

• scotopic a- and b-waves are smaller than in wild-type at later ages (24-32 weeks) but not at early ages (4 weeks)

nervous system

short photoreceptor outer segment ( J:103713 )

• shorter outer segments than in wild-type at 4 and 24 weeks of age
