Image
Caption Mice were aged matched and analyzed by slit-lamp examination; representative GpnmbR150X/GpnmbR150X Tyrp1b/Tyrp1b eyes are shown. A: The normally brown pigmented coat of a mouse on the left compared with a GpnmbR150X/GpnmbR150X Tyrc-2J/Tyrc-2J Tyrp1b/Tyrp1b mouse on the right. B,D,F: Different views emphasize the clinical morphology of the albino iris. Eyes of Tyrc-2J/Tyrc-2J mice appear pink as they lack melanin, but otherwise the iris and its vasculature have normal morphology. C, E,G: Homozygosity for Tyrc-2J completely prevents iris disease in triple homozygous mutant mice. The iris morphology of the triple mutant is indistinguishable from that of Tyrc-2J/Tyrc-2J only (compare 3B to 3C), lacks peripupillary abnormalities (compare 3D to 3 E), and has a healthy uninterrupted vasculature (3F to 3G).
