phenotypes
All alleles(6) : Targeted, knock-out(1) Targeted, other(1) Spontaneous(2) Chemically induced(2)
Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation have small lenses that develop progressive opacity beginning in the nucleus. Homozygotes for spontaneous or ENU-induced mutations have normal sized lenses with a white nuclear cataract by weaning age that expands progressively.
