Ocular Phenotypes in Adult (1–10 Months Old) WT and Mutant Mice

Genotype
No. Eyes Examined
Normal Appearance
Corectopia/Dyscoria
Iridal Coloboma

Fbn2−/−; Mfap2−/− 27 2 9 16
Mfap2−/− 16 16 0 0
Mfap5−/− 10 10 0 0
Mfap2−/−; Mfap5−/− 12 12 0 0

Mice deficient in Fbn2 were prone to iris malformations including corectopia, dyscoria, and coloboma. Mice deficient in Mfap2 and Mfap5 (genes encoding microfibril-associated glycoproteins) did not exhibit ocular symptoms.
