pigmentation
• heterozgyotes also have some large multinucleated retinal pigment epithialial cells and pigment mottling throughout the fundus is more apparent with age, but the spots and ring spots found in homozygotes are not found in heterozygotes by either fundus imaging of OCT and the outer nuclear layer has a normal thickness

vision/eye
• heterozgyotes also have some large multinucleated retinal pigment epithialial cells and pigment mottling throughout the fundus is more apparent with age, but the spots and ring spots found in homozygotes are not found in heterozygotes by either fundus imaging of OCT and the outer nuclear layer has a normal thickness
|
• direct current electroretinography of both homozygotes and heterozygotes finds reduced c wave amplitude, fast oscillation and off-response
|
• direct current electroretinography at 1 year of age shows reduced amplitude in both homozygotes and heterozgyotes relative to C57BL/6J
• unlike homozygotes, heterozygotes have normal a wave and b wave amplitudes and normal cone ERG response
