Hydrocephaly phenotype with CRB2 mutations. (a) CT scan of a normal brain and patient brain, with enlargement of the brain ventricles. (b) Mid-sagittal view (d) Coronal view using OCT shows reduction in ventricular size along with CA stenosis in crb2 F0 CRISPR mutant tadpole brain at stage 45 as compared to controls. (c) Mid-sagittal view (e) Coronal view of control and crb2 F0 CRISPR mutant tadpole raised to stage 48 shows enlargement of the ventricles as compared to controls. This result was seen in 3 animals that survived to this later stage. (White arrow head – CA, red arrowheads – stenosis of CA). (f) Stage 45 tadpole particle tracking shows the impairment of the flow fields in the lateral 3rd and midbrain ventricles, but normal flow in the fourth ventricle for the crb2 F0 CRISPR mutant as compared to the control. (g) 2D Particle Velocity Map shows loss of FFs 1-3 and intact FFs 4-5. (Lat-V: lateral ventricle, III: 3rd ventricle, M: Midbrain ventricle, IV: 4th ventricle).
