vision/eye
• 49% of mice show local chorioretinal atrophy, characterized by defects of the choroid, deformity of the retinal layers, and gliosis
• however, no iris anomaly, Peters anomaly, or microphthalmos are observed
• no significant abnormalities are seen in other organs, such as brain, heart, lung, liver, intestine and kidney
|

• 43% of mice show sheathing of retinal vessels
|
• 5% of mice exhibit hemangioma in retinal vessels
|
• 5% of mice exhibit an optic nerve head anomaly
• 17% of mice show a pigmentation phenotype in the optic nerve head
|
• 2% of mice exhibit corneal opacity
|
• mice exhibit more severe ocular malformations in various eye tissues than heterozygous littermates
|
• 64% of mice exhibit persistence of ocular fetal vasculature (PFV), extending from the optic nerve head to the posterior surface of the lens and covering a large area in the vitreous cavity
|
• mice with local chorioretinal atrophy show deformity of the outer retinal layers with glial proliferation
• however, no retinal folds are observed
|
• mice with local chorioretinal atrophy show glial proliferation around retinal vessels
