vision/eye
• fully mature photoreceptor outer segments form, but disorganized arrangement of the outer segment discs is seen at 14 days of age by transmission electron micrographs
|
• fundus images are normal at 1 month of age but at 6 months of age individual retinal pigment epithelial cells can be discerned
• the rate of retinal degeneration is slower than in nmf247 homozygotes and more like that of tm1Tili homozygotes with the outer nuclear layer reduced to 3 to 4 nuclei at 3 months of age
|
• by one month of age there is a decrease in both dark- and light-adapted ERG responses and this is more severe at 6 months of age
