hm1

• Allelic Composition: kec1/kec1
• Genetic Background: BALB/c-kec1

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

vision/eye

abnormal lens morphology ( J:143326 )

• at 5 months, the lens exhibits breakdown of the cortex caused by enlarged and increased vacuoles

• at 12 months, the lens collapses without rupture

lens vacuoles ( J:143326 )

• at 5 to 8 weeks, mice display vacuoles in the whole lens

abnormal lens fiber morphology ( J:143326 )

• at 5 to 8 weeks, lens fibers are irregularly distributed unlike in wild-type mice

cataract ( J:143326 )

• mice develop cataracts by week 5 that begins as a small irregular opacity and spreads to the entire lens by adulthood
