• compared to wild-type littermates

skeleton
• disorganized columnar array
• minor changes in gross development of skeleton and soft tissues, however normal extent of mineralization

vision/eye
N
• despite eye abnormalities, no increase in retinal detachment is observed
• the anterior eye segment exhibits decreased folding in the ciliary process with changes in the stromal extracellular matrix and vacuolization compared to in wild-type eyes
• typical folding of ciliary processes is reduced
