The purpose of this study was to determine the QTL that influence acute, light-induced retinal degeneration differences between the BALB/cByJ and 129S1/SvImJ mouse strains. Five- to 6-week-old F(2) progeny of an intercross between the two strains were exposed to 15,000 LUX of white light for 1 h after their pupils were dilated, placed in the dark for 16 h, and kept for 10-12 days in dim cyclic light before...
