mortality/aging
• homozygotes die within 24 hrs after birth
(J:78879)

hearing/vestibular/ear
• variably affected

• variable deficiencies
|
• the gonial bone is reduced or absent

|
• the gonial bone is reduced or absent

small ears
(
J:81179
)
• reduction in the size of the pinna
|
• at birth, the three rows of OHCs that normally extend through the cochlear duct are mildly disrupted
• in contrast, the vestibular sensory epithelium remains unchanged
|
• at birth, homozygotes show a mild disruption of the organ of Corti
|
• at birth, the third OHC row is absent throughout the length of the cochlear duct
|
• reduced or absent
|
• reduced or absent
|
nervous system
• neural crest cells that accumulate proximal to the second branchial arch display increased apoptosis
• however, no abundant cell death occurs in the second arch
|
• at birth, the third OHC row is absent throughout the length of the cochlear duct
|
craniofacial
• in all cases, the proximal styloid process is absent
|
• posterior part is malformed
|
• flattened in 80% of mice, correlates with presence of a cleft palate
|
• malformation of the retrotympanic process
|
• lesser horns point laterally in 80% of mice, correlates with presence of a cleft palate

• open palatine shelf in 80% of mice
|
• proximally reduced in size
• at E10.5, the second arch is barely detectable with the distal portion often present but not connected to the proximal portion
• however, the first and third arches appear relatively normal
|
cleft palate
(
J:81179
)
• open palatine shelf in 80% of mice
|
• cleft palate may have resulted from a block in palatal shelf elevation caused by the tongue, which in histological sections was still observed in between the palatal shelves at E16.5
|
• the tongue remains between the palatal shelves at E16.5
|
