vision/eye
• at 1 and 3 months of age, ocular fundus exhibit sites of cellular mislocalization and roundish structures in the outer plexiform layer unlike wild-type mice
• at 6 and 12 months of age, the ocular fundus has spotty and patchy areas with vascular leakage unlike in wild-type mice
• at P10, retinal basal infoldings are disorganization and vacuoles are increased in number and size compared with wild-type mice
• mice exhibit a stronger phenotype than in Tg(Chx10-EGFP/cre,-ALPP)2Clc Tg(RNU6-RNAi:Mpp5)13Wij mice
• bipolar cells are ectopically localized in the outer nuclear layer
• at 3, 6, and 12 months, mice exhibit loss of photoreceptors and bipolar cells due to apoptosis compared with wild-type mice

• from P10 to P30, mice exhibit folds between the retinal outer and inner layers (ONL and INL) and retinal outer plexiform layer (OPL), half rosettes of photoreceptors in the ONL and OPL, and ectopic photoreceptor nuclei in the subretinal space unlike wild-type mice
• ectopically localized in the subretinal space or outer plexiform layer
• in the cone outer segments at P30
• at 3, 6, and 12 months, mice exhibit loss of photoreceptors and bipolar cells due to apoptosis compared with wild-type mice
