Eye abnormalities in Pitx3eyl/Pitx3eyl mice

behavior/neurological
• female mice exhibit reduced total distance travelled, mean velocity, rearing, board entry, and hole exploration compared with wild-type mice
• female mice exhibit increased energy uptake per unit body weight compared with wild-type mice
• male mice exhibit decreased latencies to enter the board and explore the holes and increased latency to grooming compared with wild-type mice
• female mice exhibit increased latency to enter the anxiogenic, exposed area (board entry) and increased risk assessment behavior, increased latency to explore the objects, and a tendency to stay more in contact with their cage mates in the adjacent group compartment compared with wild-type mice
• in a von Frey test
• mice exhibit decreased grip strength compared with wild-type mice
• in a chemical-abdominal constriction test
• in a Hargreaves test but not a tail flick test

homeostasis/metabolism
• female mice metabolize more energy per unit body weight compared with wild-type mice

vision/eye
• at E14.5, cornea are thickened compared to in wild-type mice and exhibits some adhesion to the rudimentary lens
• at E14.5, the rudimentary lens exhibits some adhesion to the cornea unlike in wild-type mice
• only a rudiment lens remains
• eyelids are closed at weaning
• mice exhibit a hypertrophic retina that fills almost the entire vitreous body
• retinal layers are inhomogeneous unlike in wild-type mice
• retina is folded unlike in wild-type mice

immune system
• decreased frequency in female mice
• increased frequency in female mice
• increased frequency in female mice
• unlike in wild-type mice, IgE levels are equivalent between male and female mice
• in female mice

respiratory system
• male mice exhibit increased mean respiratory rates and decreased mean inspiratory flow, minute ventilation, inspiratory time, and tidal volume compared with wild-type mice
• male mice exhibit increased mean respiratory rates and decreased mean inspiratory flow, minute ventilation, inspiratory time, and tidal volume compared with wild-type mice
• mice exhibit more frequent but less effective breathing compared with wild-type mice

growth/size/body
• in female mice
• in male and female mice
• at 9 weeks

adipose tissue
• at 9 weeks, fat mass and content are reduced compared to in wild-type mice

liver/biliary system
• in some mice with female mice slightly more affected than male mice

nervous system
• mice have fewer mesencephalic dopaminergic (mDA) neurons than wild-type mice
• the majority of mDAs in the substantia nigra are lost

skeleton
• female mice exhibit decreased bone mineral density, bone mineral content and bone content compared with wild-type mice

hematopoietic system
• decreased frequency in female mice
• in female mice
• increased frequency in female mice
• increased frequency in female mice
• unlike in wild-type mice, IgE levels are equivalent between male and female mice
• in female mice
