RGD Curation Notes
Note Type Note Reference
strain_life_disease Carries gene for retinal dystrophy, which causes over-production of rhodopsin and progressive loss of photoreceptor cells beginning in the third postnatal week. Cataracts develop in 24% of rats and there is a 4% incidence of microphthalmia. 69668
strain_reproduction Good breeding performance. 69668
