hearing/vestibular/ear
• lateral links that connect stereocilia to each other are sparse and frequently disrupted
• E17.5 embryos have disorganized and fragmented inner hair cell (IHC) stereociliary bundles
• stereociliary generally assemble into two to three clumps at the cell apical surface instead of forming single V-shaped bundles
• stereocilia of the small and medium rows have round, oblate tips instead of prolate tips
• kinocillia show large mean deviations from the plane cell polarity axis (PCP) with only 37% of the kinocillia being within 15 degrees of the PCP compared to to 84% in wild-type mice
• the mean absolute kinociliary deviation is 25 degrees compared to 8 degrees in wild-type mice
• incomplete differentiation of stereocilia of the outer hair cells (J:2196)
• outer hair cells did not show regular W-shaped configuration of the stereocilia throughout the entire turns of the cochlea except for a few hair cells (J:2196)
• E18.5 embryos have disorganized and fragmented outer hair cell (OHC) stereociliary bundles (J:135991)
• stereociliary generally assemble into two to three clumps at the cell apical surface instead of forming single V-shaped bundles (J:135991)
• many stereocillia of the small and medium rows in P0 mice are shorter than expected and do not elongate further
• incomplete differentiation of stereocilia of the maculae
• in hair cells of the utricular and saccular maculae, the classical pipe organ configuration of the stereocilia was not observed
• no ABR response in homozygous mice was recorded at any age
• VESPs are absent at the maximum stimulus intensity used

behavior/neurological
• abnormal drop reflex; mice do not demonstrate expected dorsoflexion and spread out the front paws when quickly lowered from ~20 cm above a table surface, while controls do exhibit this behavior
• mice exhibit poor swimming ability; mice can not maneuver in the water and can not remain at the surface

nervous system
• lateral links that connect stereocilia to each other are sparse and frequently disrupted
