vision/eye
• ciliary axoneme is reduced or absent, however the connecting cilium is intact and positioned appropriately
• almost complete loss of inner segment and outer segment at P18, with only a single row of outer nuclear layer nuclei remaining at P28
• stacks of outer segments are formed but do not organize into the extended vertical arrays
• early photoreceptor development occurs normally and all layers of the retina are present at P10 and P12, however, by P14, outer segment elongation is stalled and begins to regress
• almost complete loss of inner segment and outer segment at P18, with only a single row of outer nuclear layer nuclei remaining at P28
• mice only show a single row of cone nuclei remaining after rod degeneration
• complete degeneration by P28
• pyknotic photoreceptor nuclei start to appear at P14 in the outer nuclear layer which starts to thin
• mice show minimal S- and M-cone-mediated electroretinography responses that are near recording noise level and are smaller than wild-type responses
