N normal phenotype
reproductive system
N
• mice are fertile

vision/eye
• the overall structure of retina and number of photoreceptor cells is normal
• retinal ganglion cells fail to differentiate as shown by the loss of Pou4f1+ and reduction of Ngfr+ cells
• approximately 97% of Pou4f2+ cells are lost
• 80% reduction in the SMI-32 positive processes of axons from large ganglion cells and the remaining 20% of SMI-32 positive processes of axons have abnormally curved axon bundles
• greater than 80% reduction in the number of retinal ganglion cells
• absence of a defined nerve fiber layer
• retinas are approximately 15 to 20% thinner than control retinas

nervous system
• retinal ganglion cells fail to differentiate as shown by the loss of Pou4f1+ and reduction of Ngfr+ cells

• 80% reduction in the SMI-32 positive processes of axons from large ganglion cells and the remaining 20% of SMI-32 positive processes of axons have abnormally curved axon bundles
• greater than 80% reduction in the number of retinal ganglion cells
