vision/eye

vision/eye phenotype ( J:171561 )

N • no differences in eye electrophysiology or signs of photoreceptor degeneration are detected in mice at up to 24 months of age

abnormal retina pigment epithelium morphology ( J:171561 )

• loss of the basal infoldings and accumulation of amorphous deposits between the RPE and Bruch's membrane are seen at 24 months of age

• vacuoles are present in the RPE at 24 months of age
