vision/eye
• cellular defects are seen in the retina at E14.5
• marker analysis indicates that retinal progenitor distribution is disturbed in photoreceptor cells and cell adhesion and polarity molecules are mislocalized in photoreceptors, however cell fate determination of photoreceptors is not affected
|
• retinal lamination is disrupted with plexiform patches and sporadic rosette-like structures in the outer nuclear layer at P14
|
• loss of photoreceptor cells
|
• retinal thinning is seen at E14.5 but not at E12.5
|
• dark-adapted ERG responses show reduced a-wave amplitudes
|
• dark-adapted ERG responses show reduced b-wave amplitudes
|
nervous system
• loss of photoreceptor cells
