phenotype observed in females

N normal phenotype
nervous system
• abducens nerve stalls and fails to innervate the lateral rectus and is absent from the orbit at E16.5
• oculomotor nerve aberrantly innervates the lateral rectus muscle, indicating compensatory innervation
• however, oculomotor nerve has a normal trajectory to the orbit
• the number of abducens motor neurons is greatly reduced by E13.5, but is normal at E10.5, immediately prior to abducens stalling, indicating secondary motor neuron apoptosis by E13.5

vision/eye
• 71.8% penetrance of unilateral or bilateral globe retraction

nervous system
• the abducens nerve has fewer hindbrain exiting bundles that are over-fasciculated in the hindbrain
• the abducens nerve has fewer hindbrain exiting bundles (30% reduction) that are over-fasciculated in the hindbrain and stalled with variable penetrance midway between the hindbrain and orbit at E11.5
• stalled abducens nerve bundles do not reach the orbit, resulting in secondary aberrant misinnervation of the lateral rectus muscle by the oculomotor nerve
• E11.5 embryos show errors in trochlear nerve projections; trochlear axons cross the midline and exit dorsally as in wild-type embryos, but the axons form multiple fascicles instead of one nerve bundle, most of which extend appropriately toward the contralateral orbit, but some turn back and misproject toward the ipsilateral orbit
• in E11.5 embryos, the first cervical spine nerve exits the brainstem appropriately, but turns dorsally toward the dermomyotome with variable bilateral penetrance
• embryos show an absence or thinning of the abducens nerve at the primitive extraocular muscles anlage at the orbit, as seen by a reduction in abducens nerve diameter near the orbit

• the abducens nerve has fewer hindbrain exiting bundles that are over-fasciculated in the hindbrain
