pigmentation
• described as similar to the ruby-eye (ru) mutation
• electron microscopy shows that there are fewer melanocytes in the retinal pigment epithelium and choroid, the remaining melanocytes in the retinal pigment epithelium are often disorganized and those in the choroid often have ragged outlines instead of the normal smooth exterior membranes and are often clumped within large multimelanosomal bodies

integument
• described as similar to the ruby-eye (ru) mutation

vision/eye
• electron microscopy shows that there are fewer melanocytes in the retinal pigment epithelium and choroid, the remaining melanocytes in the retinal pigment epithelium are often disorganized and those in the choroid often have ragged outlines instead of the normal smooth exterior membranes and are often clumped within large multimelanosomal bodies
