Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To demonstrate the importance of genetic background interaction on the development of ocular phenotypes in p53-deficient mice. METHODS: Eyes of adult mice, homozygous and heterozygous for the p53 gene disruption in the 129/SvJ and C57BL/6J (B6) genetic backgrounds, and their F1 progeny were examined by indirect ophthalmoscopy and by light microscopy. RESULTS: Indirect ophthalmoscopy revealed unilateral...
