Ocular abnormalities in Pax2^M1Bpb/Pax2⁺ mice

vision/eye

abnormal optic nerve morphology ( J:159240 )

• mice exhibit excavation of the optic nerve head with prepapillary pigment changes unlike wild-type mice

• Background Sensitivity: mice exhibit increased penetrance of optic nerve phenotype compared to mice on a mixed C3H/HeJ and C57BL/6 background

abnormal optic disk morphology ( J:159240 )

• mice exhibit excavation of the optic nerve head with prepapillary pigment changes unlike wild-type mice

abnormal eye development ( J:159240 )

• at E13.5, mice exhibit a delay in the formation of the tunica vasculosis lentis compared with wild-type mice

• mice exhibit variable, incomplete regression of the tunica vasculosis lentis compared with wild-type mice

abnormal retina morphology ( J:159240 )

• mice exhibit retinal rosettes unlike wild-type mice

abnormal retina blood vessel morphology ( J:159240 )

• mice exhibit the absence of a central retinal arterial trunk unlike wild-type mice

abnormal retina blood vessel pattern ( J:159240 )

abnormal retina pigment epithelium morphology ( J:159240 )

• mice exhibit a mild extension of the retinal pigment epithelium beyond the borders of the optic disc unlike in wild-type mice

renal/urinary system

kidney cyst ( J:159240 )

• 1 in 16 mice exhibit bilateral kidney cysts with hydronephrosis and hydroureter unlike wild-type mice
