• overall retinal layer organization appears normal at P20 but by 6 months of age, severe alterations in the inner segment of the retina are seen
• overall retinal layer organization appears normal at P20 but by 6 months of age, severe alterations in the outer segment of the retina are seen
• progressive photoreceptor degeneration
• mice exhibit progressive thinning of the outer nuclear layer and reduced rows of nuclei from 4 to 6 months of age
• photopic ERG recordings of 4 month old mice show both a-wave and b-wave reduction, indicating rod photoreceptor dysfunction, that is further reduced at 6 months
