phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
vision/eye
• mice develop cataracts in absence of high galactose diet; cataract formation is detected at P0 on nomral or 40% glucose diet
• cataracts are detected as vacuoles at the periphery of the lens

homeostasis/metabolism
• at P0, lenses have high levels of galactitol relative to controls

N normal phenotype
vision/eye
• mice injected with streptozotocin are susceptible to diabetic cataract formation, while non-transgenic SorD-deficient mice do not develop cataracts

homeostasis/metabolism
• mice injected with streptozotocin exhibit higher accumulation of sorbitol in the lens than wild-type beginning at 1 week after diabetes development

N
• mice induced to become diabetic with streptozotocin injection do not develop cataracts
• 3-week old mice fed a 50% galactose diet, cataracts develop in transgenic animals, but not in non-transgenic mice; stages of cataract development reached correlates with level of transgene expression
