• at 8 months of age, exhibit a general derangement of the basal layer, with a loss of the palisade-like orientation of the microvilli accompanied by a marked reduction in thickness up to a complete loss of the entire labyrinth, however, retinal function is normal throughout life and no differences are seen in the neuronal layers of the retina
• at 8 months of age, display a disruption in the elongation of the apical processes and the processes are composed of small, vesiculated structures that do not envelop the outer segments and form a barrier between the outer segments and the epithelium
• at 8 months of age, exhibit abnormalities in the inner aspect of Bruch's membrane
• at 30 months of age, the layering of Bruch's membrane is still present, but less clearly expressed and shows increased thickening

• at 8 months of age, the retinal pigment epithelium displays localized disorientation of the apical processes and reduction in thickness and complexity of the basal microvilli and occasionally wide-open caverns that extend from the basal labyrinth into the cytoplasm of the cell, however retinal function is normal throughout life
• at 30 months of age, the layering of Bruch's membrane is still present, but less clearly expressed and shows increased thickening and marked disturbances of the inner collagenous layer
