nervous system
• retinofugal pathway displays a misrouting of optic fibers at the chiasm with an inappropriate crossing of the ipsilateral component

pigmentation
• abnormally large melanin granules, as well as normal sized melanosomes, are dispersed within the pigment epithelium of the ciliary body at P1
• abnormally large melanin granules, as well as normal sized melanosomes, are dispersed within the pigment epithelium of the iris at P1
• more lightly pigmented than in controls
• abnormally large melanin granules, as well as normal sized melanosomes, are dispersed within the pigment epithelium of the retina at P1
• at P7, majority of melanosomes in the retinal pigment epithelium are giant
• macromelanosomes (giant melanosomes) are observed in the retina, iris and ciliary body epithelium but not in skin, hair or uveal melanocytes
• diameter or macromelanosomes is about 3 times that of normal melanosomes

vision/eye
• retinofugal pathway displays a misrouting of optic fibers at the chiasm with an inappropriate crossing of the ipsilateral component
• abnormally large melanin granules, as well as normal sized melanosomes, are dispersed within the pigment epithelium of the ciliary body at P1
• abnormally large melanin granules, as well as normal sized melanosomes, are dispersed within the pigment epithelium of the iris at P1
• hypopigmentation of the ocular fundus
• more lightly pigmented than in controls
• abnormally large melanin granules, as well as normal sized melanosomes, are dispersed within the pigment epithelium of the retina at P1
• at P7, majority of melanosomes in the retinal pigment epithelium are giant
