vision/eye
• outer segment disc disorganization and accumulation of extracellular debris is seen at P25 and P28
|
• mice show a shortening of the outer segment length at 1 month of age
|
• at P31, the outer segments are disorganized and appear to lose the connection with the axoneme and innersegment of the photoreceptor cell
• mice show mislocalization of photoreceptor outer segment proteins
|
• outer segments are fully degenerated by P31
|
• mice show thinning of the outer nuclear layer at 1 month, with a 38% reduction, and a complete degeneration by 2 months
|
• mice exhibit rapid retinal degeneration showing decreased neural retinal thickness due to thinning and eventual loss of the outer nuclear layer by 2 months of age
• however, mice do not show retinal cysts
|
• mixed rod/cone responses are reduced by half at 1 month of age
• by 2 months of age, the ERG is severely affected or undetectable across the stimulus conditions
|
• mice show an 84% reduction of rod-driven b-wave amplitude at 0.01 cd/m2 light stimulus after dark adaptation at 1 month of age
• mice show a reduction in cone-isolated b-wave amplitude at 20 cd/m2 light stimulus after light adaptation at 2 months of age, indicating secondary cone degeneration
