Crx^tm1.1Smgc/Crx^tm1.1Smgc, Crx^tm2.1Smgc/Crx^tm2.1Smgc, and Crx^tm1Clc/Crx^tm1Clc mice develop Leber Congenital Amaurosis-like retinopathy

vision/eye

vision/eye phenotype ( J:211011 )

N	• normal lamellar formation of the retina at 14 days of age

abnormal retina layer morphology ( J:211011 )

• no outer segment formation at 14 days through 3 months

• loss of outer layer nuclei starting around 1 month

• only 7-9 rows at 1 month compared to about 12 rows in controls

• 2-3 rows at 3 months

• apoptosis at 21 and 35 days of age

• no light or dark adapted responses

nervous system

Crx^tm1.1Smgc/Crx⁺ but not Crx^tm2.1Smgc/Crx⁺ develop dominant retinopathy

vision/eye

vision/eye phenotype ( J:211011 )

N	• normal retinal morphology at all ages • cones are located normally by 1 month of age • opsin expression and distribution normal

• normal overall cone density through 1 year of age despite a modestly reduced density in the central region of the retina

decreased b-wave amplitude ( J:211011 )

• EGR deficits do not appear until 6 months of age

• minor light adapted B wave deficiencies

nervous system

• normal overall cone density through 1 year of age despite a modestly reduced density in the central region of the retina
