pigmentation
• retinal pigment epithelial cells have elongated apical microvilli by 14 days of age

cellular
• homozygotes lack spermatocytes, spermatids, and mature spermatozoa and are sterile

reproductive system
• homozygotes lack spermatocytes, spermatids, and mature spermatozoa and are sterile

vision/eye
• vascular thinning and clearer definition of choroidal vessels
• mild, slow progressing with 4 to 5 photoreceptor layers still present at 1 month of age
• retinal pigment epithelial cells have elongated apical microvilli by 14 days of age
• dark-adapted ERG responses are substantially reduced by 1 month of age

nervous system
• homozygotes assesssed between 3 and 6 months of age have prominant vacuolization in the white matter of the corpus callosum, brain stem, and cerebellum, consistent with human subclinical leukodystrophy
• mild, slow progressing with 4 to 5 photoreceptor layers still present at 1 month of age
