vision/eye
• a subset of photoreceptors show disrupted or fragmented disc arrays, tortuous disc membranes, focal accumulations of vesicle-like or whorled membrane structures, and localized swelling, indicating a substantial failure of disc formation and/or maintenance
• the cone outer segments at 3 months of age are deformed, seen in both the dorsal and ventral regions of the retina
• ultrastructural defects in the outer segment structures, with a subset of photoreceptors exhibiting severe disorganization of the outer segment, characterized by disrupted or fragmented disc arrays, tortuous disc membranes, focal accumulations of vesicle-like or whorled membrane structures, and localized swelling, indicating a substantial failure of disc formation and/or maintenance
• however, inner retinal structure is well preserved
• seen in a subset of photoreceptors
• progressive photoreceptor degeneration
• cone degeneration, with loss of cones at 6 months of age
• average cone pedicle size is larger, with a marked increase at 3 months and at later stages
• retinas show prolonged photopic b-wave implicit time
• under dark-adapted conditions, retinas show progressively reduced scotopic a-wave amplitudes at 3 and 6 months of age
• under light-adapted conditions, both a- and b-waves of photopic ERGs are reduced in amplitude in 1 month old mice
• under dark-adapted conditions, retinas show progressively reduced scotopic b-wave amplitudes at 3 and 6 months of age
• under light-adapted conditions, both a- and b-waves of photopic ERGs are reduced in amplitude in 1 month old mice
• under light-adapted conditions, retinas exhibit significant reduction in photopic ERG responses at 1 months of age and loss of cone-driven light responses at 6 months
• under dark-adapted conditions, retinas exhibit dampened scotopic ERG responses

nervous system
• a subset of photoreceptors show disrupted or fragmented disc arrays, tortuous disc membranes, focal accumulations of vesicle-like or whorled membrane structures, and localized swelling, indicating a substantial failure of disc formation and/or maintenance
• the cone outer segments at 3 months of age are deformed, seen in both the dorsal and ventral regions of the retina

• however, inner retinal structure is well preserved
• seen in a subset of photoreceptors
• progressive photoreceptor degeneration
• cone degeneration, with loss of cones at 6 months of age
• the overall distribution and organization of synapses formed between bipolar cells and both rods and cones appear normal, but PSD95 immunoreactivity is reduced and blurred at the photoreceptor axonal terminals
• membrane boundaries of cone terminals appear indistinct and diffuse
• multiple ribbon-containing cone pedicles exhibit compromised structural integrity

homeostasis/metabolism
• lipidomics analysis shows elevated glycosphingolipid levels in 3-month-old retinas
• lipidomics analysis shows elevated ganglioside levels in 3-month-old retinas
• GT1b and GD3 gangliosides are increased in the outer segment layer at 1 month and 3 months of age, with a mild increase of GD3 ganglioside and a higher density accumulation of GT1b ganglioside forming larger puncta
