vision/eye

abnormal photoreceptor inner segment morphology ( J:248574 )

• overall retinal layer organization appears normal at P20 but by 6 months of age, severe alterations in the inner segment of the retina are seen

photoreceptor inner segment degeneration ( J:248574 )

abnormal photoreceptor outer segment morphology ( J:248574 )

• overall retinal layer organization appears normal at P20 but by 6 months of age, severe alterations in the outer segment of the retina are seen

photoreceptor outer segment degeneration ( J:248574 )

retina photoreceptor degeneration ( J:248574 )

• progressive photoreceptor degeneration

retina outer nuclear layer degeneration ( J:248574 )

• mice exhibit progressive thinning of the outer nuclear layer and reduced rows of nuclei from 4 to 6 months of age

decreased a-wave amplitude ( J:248574 )

• photopic ERG recordings of 4 month old mice show both a-wave and b-wave reduction, indicating rod photoreceptor dysfunction, that is further reduced at 6 months

decreased b-wave amplitude ( J:248574 )

• photopic ERG recordings of 4 month old mice show both a-wave and b-wave reduction, indicating rod photoreceptor dysfunction, that is further reduced at 6 months

abnormal rod electrophysiology ( J:248574 )

• dysfunction of the rod photoreceptors
