N	normal phenotype

vision/eye

abnormal lens fiber morphology ( J:14881 )

• dispositions of lens fibers and unequal size of fiber nuclei are noticed at E15

• the anterior pole of the lens can have masses of degenerated lens fibers interspersed with vacuoles during fetal development

hydropic eye lens fibers ( J:14881 )

• initial changes in lens structure occur at E15 when lens fibers around the lenticular nucleus swell and transform into spindle shapes

developmental cataract ( J:14881 )

• mice have cataracts when eyes are first opened

• initial changes in lens structure occur at E15 when lens fibers around the lenticular nucleus swell and transform into spindle shapes

• dispositions of lens fibers and unequal size of fiber nuclei are also noticed at this stage

• the anterior pole of the lens can have masses of degenerated lens fibers interspersed with vacuoles

• these morphological lens changes progress gradually into cataracts

microphthalmia ( J:14881 )

• microphthalmia is noted when eyes are first opened with eyes being about half the size of controls

vision/eye

abnormal lens development ( J:196356 )

• all mice of this inbred strain were found to have abnormal lense structure with the lenses spaced with vacuoles

lens vacuoles ( J:196356 )

cataract ( J:196356 )

• in all mice of this inbred background

microphthalmia ( J:196356 )

• in all mice of this inbred background, but heterozygotes from an outcross to C57BL/6J do not have microphthalmia
