N
• despite expression in the mouse ovary, ovaries from adult 8-wk-old female homozygotes show an abundance of corpora lutea, unlike that observed in 8-wk-old Fzd4tm1Nat homozygotes
• moreover, mutant corpora lutea are immunopositive for a steroidogenic marker found in the cytoplasm of luteal cells, suggesting that they are functional

hearing/vestibular/ear
• at 3 months (but not at P12), enlarged vessels are observed in the stria vascularis, particularly in the apex of the cochlea
• age-related loss of larger strial vessels, possibly due to a more general loss of vessels
• general disorganization of blood vessels and lack of a well developed capillary bed, esp. in the apex
• approximately two-thirds of strial vessels are lost by 15 months
• initial preservation of cochlear IHCs in all turns at 3 months, with eventual IHC loss by 15 months
• gradual loss of outer hair cells becoming severe by 15 months, consistent with auditory threshold increases
• in severe cases of stria vascularis degeneration, loss of fibrocytes in the adjacent spiral ligament by 15 months
• at ~3 months, excessive numbers of cells in the strial intermediate cell layer in some areas of the basal turn
• by 15 months, complete loss of marginal cells in some areas
• in severe cases, almost complete degeneration of the stria vascularis by 15 months
• ABRs recorded at 3-4 months, 6-8 months, and 13-15 months indicate elevated thresholds at all test frequencies, with a slightly higher hearing loss at higher frequencies
• progressive hearing loss across all test frequencies, also noted on a 129/Sv background
• hearing loss is initially more severe in the high frequencies but eventually progresses to a relatively flat, profound loss by 15 months
• progressive hearing loss associated with a primary lesion in the stria vascularis

cardiovascular system
• lack of a well developed fine capillary network in both the inner and outer retina layers at 13 months
• absence of any vascular development in the outer retina at 13 months
• at 3 months (but not at P12), enlarged vessels are observed in the stria vascularis, particularly in the apex of the cochlea
• age-related loss of larger strial vessels, possibly due to a more general loss of vessels
• general disorganization of blood vessels and lack of a well developed capillary bed, esp. in the apex
• approximately two-thirds of strial vessels are lost by 15 months

nervous system
• initial preservation of cochlear IHCs in all turns at 3 months, with eventual IHC loss by 15 months
• gradual loss of outer hair cells becoming severe by 15 months, consistent with auditory threshold increases
• although large vessels are not seen in spiral ganglion vasculature, a poorly developed capillary bed is observed at 3-4 months
• slight neuronal loss at 6.5 months and significant spiral ganglion loss by 15 months
• innervation of adjacent vestibular organs remains intact

vision/eye
• lack of a well developed fine capillary network in both the inner and outer retina layers at 13 months
• absence of any vascular development in the outer retina at 13 months

pigmentation
• at ~3 months, excessive numbers of cells in the strial intermediate cell layer in some areas of the basal turn

behavior/neurological
N
• no swimming impairment or behavioral signs indicative of vestibular defects, such as circling or head shaking

skeleton
• in severe cases of stria vascularis degeneration, loss of fibrocytes in the adjacent spiral ligament by 15 months

vision/eye
• hyperpigmentation of the retinal pigment epithelium is evident within severely affectes areas
• at 4 and 26 weeks, a general disorganization of the ganglion cell layer is observed, with some nuclei migrating into the inner plexiform layer
• at 4 and 26 weeks, occasional changes in the inner nuclear layers are observed
• nuclei from the inner nuclear layer are occasionally displaced into the photoreceptor layer
• even when inner nuclear and photoreceptor layers are only mildly affected, the changes within the vitreous body and the ganglion cell layer are prominent
• at 4 and 26 weeks, occasional changes in the outer nuclear layers are observed
• nuclei from the outer nuclear layer are occasionally displaced into the outer plexiform and the inner nuclear layer
• the outer plexiform layer disappears in severely affected areas
• relocation of nuclei from the inner nuclear layers into the photoreceptor layer leads to the disappearance of photoreceptors
• the outer segments of the photoreceptor cells disappear within severely affected areas
• at 3 weeks, 3 of 6 male hemizygotes exhibit conspicuous precipitate-like retrolental structures in the vitreous body; the variation in number and size of precipitates is age-independent
• by 10-20 weeks, all male hemizygotes show pathological signs with a variable age of onset
• in addition to the precipitates, depigmented bundles or stripes are noted in some eyes and interpreted as retinal folding or detachment
• at 4 and 26 weeks, fibrous masses (retrolental patterns) are observed within the vitreous bodies of all eyes examined
