phenotypes
All alleles(7) : Targeted, other(4) Spontaneous(3)
Homozygotes for spontaneous mutations exhibit microphthalmia, lack of retinal intercellular channels, and agenesis of the optic nerve. Homozygotes for one mutant allele also have a germ cell maturation defect with sterility in both sexes.
