vision/eye
• at P14, the double mutant inner segments are extremely short
|
• at P14, the double outer segments are absent
|
• although all retinal layers are normally present at P14, double mutant photoreceptors undergo rapid degeneration by P17, such that the photoreceptor layer is reduced to a single row of nuclei
• this rate of decline is much faster than in either single homozygote alone, where early stages of photoreceptor layer degeneration are observed at P20
