Blond appearance of fundus and telangiectasia and vessel leakage in RpgrRd9/Y and RpgrRd9/RpgrRd9 eyes while RpgrRd9/Rpgr+ females show only diffuse white spots

vision/eye
• fundus has a blond appearance (J:75095)
(J:237833)
• telangiectasia and some leakage from vessels in the retina
• retinas show pronounced loss of pigment
• slowly progressing decrease in outer nuclear layer thickness and outer nuclear layer cell counts with age, with decreases in the superior, inferior, and temporal regions
• the outer nuclear layer is lost by 30 months (J:75095)
(J:237833)
• decrease in photoreceptor layer thickness with age such that by 24 months of age, the thickness of the photoreceptor layer is about half that at 1 month of age
• slightly smaller combined length of outer plus inner segments in the superior and temporal regions in young mice and up to 12 months of age
• levels of rhodopsin and transducing in rod outer segments are decreased
• M-cone opsin is mislocalized within cone photoreceptors
• electroretinogram a-wave amplitude shows a moderate gradual reduction that continues to 24 months of age
• electroretinogram b-wave amplitude shows a moderate gradual reduction that continues to 24 months of age
• cone-driven photopic negative response is lower at all ages and is down by 40% from that at 1 month of age

cardiovascular system
• telangiectasia and some leakage from vessels in the retina
• in the retina

muscle
• in the retina

nervous system
• levels of rhodopsin and transducing in rod outer segments are decreased
• M-cone opsin is mislocalized within cone photoreceptors

pigmentation
• retinas show pronounced loss of pigment
