N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• die at birth or immediately after birth

renal/urinary system
• cystic dilations of the tubules and some Bowman's capsules
• cysts are visible by E16 and become more severe with age
• cysts appear to be the result of defective elongation of the tubules
• some large cysts have reduced cilia
• shorter and broader compared to controls
• fail to form extended tubular structures
• tight control of oriented cell division is impaired in developing tubules
• generalized loss of elongated tubules at P0
• shorter and broader compared to controls

hearing/vestibular/ear
• shorter and broader compared to controls
• subtle but distinct defects in hair cell orientation at all levels of the cochlea

growth/size/body
• runted at birth
• cystic dilations of the tubules and some Bowman's capsules
• cysts are visible by E16 and become more severe with age
• cysts appear to be the result of defective elongation of the tubules
• some large cysts have reduced cilia

limbs/digits/tail

nervous system
• broader compared to controls
• subtle but distinct defects in hair cell orientation at all levels of the cochlea

skeleton
• curved body axis at birth

embryo
