| Provider | Mary Lyon |
| Provider affiliation | MRC Mammalian Genetics Unit |
| Genetic information | This stock has a single base-pair change in exon 2 of Crygs, crystallin gamma S gene (MGI allele ID:1861635), resulting in the formation of cataracts. The stock has been made homozygous for CrygsOpj and has also been cleared of the Pde6brd retinal degeneration allele. |
| Phenotypic information | Heterozygotes demonstrate opaque secondary fibre junctions. Homozygotes are at first like heterozygotes, but progress to total opacity by approximately 3 months of age. |
