Expression of Hsap\HTT amino acids 1-170, with 120 CAG glutamine repeats is governed by the GMR promoter.
Aggregates form in the eyes of flies expressing Hsap\HTTGMR.Q120. Fewer aggregates are observed after treatment with compound SEN177.
Expression of Hsap\HTTGMR.Q120 results in neurodegeneration and the loss of rhabdomeres.

The eyes of flies expressing Hsap\HTTGMR.Q120 progressively degenerate.
Flies expressing Hsap\HTTGMR.Q120 show strong age-dependent loss of rhabdomeres. Rhabdomeres that are present show accumulation of prominent vacuoles.
Newly eclosed flies carrying Hsap\HTTGMR.Q120 show degeneration of photoreceptor cells.
Fly photoreceptors that express Hsap\HTTGMR.Q120 exhibit degeneration. Neurodegeneration in these flies is progressive and associated with a decrease over time in the number of visible rhabdomeres in each ommatidium.
Flies expressing Hsap\HTTGMR.Q120 in the eye show degeneration of rhabdomeres. Low doses of N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) have no significant effect, while high doses exacerbated the neurodegenerative phenotype. Both NAC and cystamine significantly impairs the ability of rapamycin to rescue the neurodegenerative phenotype.
Expression of Hsap\HTTGMR.Q120 results in progressive rhabdomeric loss. Almost 7 rhabdomeres are observed within each ommatidium at day 2, but these are progressively lost with time.

Hsap\HTTGMR.Q120 flies show age-dependent degeneration of rhabdomeres and photoreceptor cells compared to controls.
Flies show progressive loss of rhabdomeres. This phenotype can be partially rescued by rearing the animals on food containing Li[+] or AR-A014418.
10 day old flies expressing Hsap\HDGMR.Q120 show severe retinal degeneration.
The number of visible rhabdomeres in each ommatidium decreases over time in flies expressing mutant Hsap\HDGMR.Q120, while there is no reduction in the number of visible rhabdomeres in wild-type flies.
Hsap\HDGMR.Q120 leads to neurodegeneration in the eye.
Retinas expressing Hsap\HDGMR.Q120 still maintain the arrangement of the facets or ommatidia, indicated by the presence of hexagonal borders containing the darkly stained cirular forms of the photoreceptor rhabdomeres. However, after 1,2, or 5 weeks of age, the arrangement of ommatidia deteriorates.
Flies expressing Hsap\HTTGMR.Q120 have normal eyes at one day after eclosion, but show severe degeneration of the retina by 10 days of age.
Ommatidial morphology is normal at eclosion but at loss of rhabdomeres is apparent in ommatidia by 2 days after eclosion, and severe by 10 days after eclosion. By 10 days massive cell degeneration is evident in th ommatidia, with nuclear and cytoplasmic condensation, chromatin clumping and increased affinity for osmium. Subcellular organelles appear intact. Nuclear inclusions include distinct 40nm spherical particles, reminiscent of those induced by copia element.
