and
phenotypes
All alleles(24) : Targeted, knock-out(5) Targeted, other(16) Gene trapped(3)
Homozygotes for targeted null alleles exhibit sensory neuron losses affecting coordination, balance, hearing, taste, and breathing, cerebellar abnormalities, increased sympathetic neuron number, and postnatal lethality. Carriers show mild defects.
