Iron supplementation did not restore vision in atp6v0e1 mutants. (A) Schematic diagram depicting the 4,098 bp deletion in the atp6v0e1 subunit identified through whole genome sequencing. (B) Treatment of atp6v0e1–/– with 100 μM Fe (III) citrate, co-supplemented with 100 μM ascorbic acid and 1 mg/ml of lactoferrin daily for 3 days, did not restore visual function as measured by OKR. Experiments were performed in duplicate and Student’s T-Test was used for statistical analysis.
