Elovl3burf/Elovl3burf (on the left) mouse at P18 showing eye and fur phenotypes

pigmentation

vision/eye
• the eye phenotype varies in severity but the eyelids are delayed in opening often by as much as three months, when the eyelids do open it is usually incomplete resulting in a squinting appearance and in some instances the eyelids open fully as the mouse ages
• in many homozygotes the eyes are found to weep and the skin around the eyes is often reddened

integument
• homozygotes on an albino background have a disheveled coat in which the fur appears yellowish in color
