growth/size/body
• although body weight is not different at 3 months, males are 9.1% lighter and females are 17.7% lighter than wild-type mice at 24 months of age
|
• body lengths of males are 3.8% and 7.2% shorter compared to wild-type mice at 3 and 24 months of age, respectively
• body lengths of females are 5.4% and 8.3% shorter at 3 and 24 months of age, respectively
|
vision/eye
N |
• retinal layers are intact at 3, 6, and 24 months of age and diurnal and nocturnal intraocular pressure at 3, 6, and 24 months of age does not differ from wild-type mice
|
• mice show persistent fibrillin-2 and enhanced fibrillin-1 immunofluorescence in the lens zonules, indicating perturbed regulation of fibrillin isotype composition of microfibrils in the eye
|
• central corneal thickness at 3 months of age is 5.4% thicker and is 8.5% thicker at 24 months of age
• however, central corneal thickness does not significantly change from 3 to 24 months of age
|
• the anterior chamber depth of the eye is 5.4% and 5% shallower at 3 months and 24 months of age, respectively
• however, no differences in axial length of the eye at 6 or 24 months of age, indicating that the shallower anterior chamber depth of the eye is not due to reduced eye size
• thickening of the central corneal thickness is considerably less than the reduction of anterior chamber depth of the eye, indicating that anterior displacement of the lens likely contributes to reduction of the anterior chamber depth of the eye
|
• mice show persistent fibrillin-2 and enhanced fibrillin-1 immunofluorescence in the hyaloid vasculature and its remnants in the vitreous, indicating perturbed regulation of fibrillin isotype composition of microfibrils in the eye
|
mortality/aging
N |
• mice exhibit a normal life span
