Aey69, a micropthalmic mouse mutant was found to result from a mutation in H3.2 coding genes, Hist2h3c1. Using a combination of different immunohistochemical markers, a timeline of microphthalmic pathology was charted, with particular focus on lens and retinal pathological changes. In addition, using CRISPR/CAS9 a transgenic mouse line expressing the fusion protein H3.2-GFP was established and characterized. Analysis of incorporation sites of H3.2 in transgenic embryos, illustrated a novel role of H3.2 in ocular development.     «
