vision/eye
• some eyes are atrophic and phthisical unlike in wild-type mice
• at 6 months, 75% of mice exhibit enlarged eyes compared with wild-type mice
|
• at 15 and 30 weeks
|
• at 10, 15, and 30 weeks
|
• as early as 18 days, some mice exhibit closed iridocorneal angles unlike wild-type mice
• at 7 weeks, 50% of mice exhibit closed iridocorneal angles unlike wild-type mice
• at 12 to 16 weeks, 80% of mice exhibit closed iridocorneal angles unlike wild-type mice
|
• between 18 days and 16 weeks, some mice exhibit peripheral anterior synechiae unlike wild-type mice
|
buphthalmos
(
J:158008
)
• beginning at 6 to 12 weeks unilaterally then spreading bilaterally over the next 1 to 2 months with continued enlargement until 6 months of age
|
• 6 weeks, mice exhibit increased intraocular pressure compared with wild-type mice that increases further by 10 weeks of age
• mice with increased intraocular pressure exhibit closed iridocorneal angles
• however, treatment with ocular hypotensives such as latanoprost, dorzolamide and timolol produces a greater reduction in intraocular pressure than in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• treatment with Y27632 fails to lower intraocular pressure unlike in wild-type mice
|
• treatment with ocular hypotensives such as latanoprost, dorzolamide and timolol produces a greater reduction in intraocular pressure than in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
nervous system
• at 15 and 30 weeks
|
• at 10, 15, and 30 weeks
