Retinal Dysplasia 12/01/2005 - "Earlier studies have shown that rd7 mice have a distinctive pattern of retinal dysplasia with an increased number of cone cells, particularly those with S (short wavelength)-opsin immunoreactivity. " 03/01/2008 - "The retinal degeneration 7 (rd7) mouse, lacking expression of the Nr2e3 gene, exhibits retinal dysplasia and a slow, progressive degeneration due to an abnormal production of blue opsin-expressing cone cells.

" 04/01/2007 - "Surprisingly, the size of the population of short wavelength opsin positive cells in the ganglion cell layer is plastic. "
