Clinical features
Signs of cmr1 develop around 13 weeks of age, and include multiple tan-pink subretinal patches in both the tapetal and the non-tapetal fundus along with focal areas of tapetal hyper-reflectivity. The lesions elevate the retina. They progress as the animal ages to focal areas of retinal degeneration and retinal pigment epithelial hypertrophy and pigmentation.
