| Type | MGI:General | Description | corneas from wild-type neonates show a rapid loss of light-scattering, decreasing by 50% from P1 to P12 (eyelid opening), concomittant with a 60% decrease in keratocyte density in contrast, corneas from mutant neonates show a significant increase in light-scattering at 3 weeks, when stroma thickness is reduced significantly in mutant posterior corneas, light-scattering is diffuse as opposed to granular, and remains elevated above wild-type levels, in the absence of significant changes in keratocyte proliferation or differentiation |
