hearing/vestibular/ear

cochlear inner hair cell degeneration ( J:219993 )

• gradient of inner hair cell loss from base to apex at 16 weeks of age

cochlear outer hair cell degeneration ( J:219993 )

• complete loss of outer hair cells in the basal and middle turns of the cochlea at 16 weeks of age

• outer hair cells are more severely affected than inner hair cells

increased or absent threshold for auditory brainstem response ( J:219993 )

• mice show an increase in hearing thresholds at more than 8kHz at 13 weeks of age and thresholds remain elevated at 16 weeks

• auditory shifts are more more pronounced at 24 and 32 kHz than at 16 and 8 kHz

decreased distortion product otoacoustic emission amplitude ( J:219993 )

• DPOAEs are reduced in amplitude at 12 and 16 kHz or absent at 24 kHz by 16 weeks of age

impaired hearing ( J:219993 )

• mice show progressive hearing loss

nervous system

cochlear inner hair cell degeneration ( J:219993 )

• gradient of inner hair cell loss from base to apex at 16 weeks of age

cochlear outer hair cell degeneration ( J:219993 )

• complete loss of outer hair cells in the basal and middle turns of the cochlea at 16 weeks of age

• outer hair cells are more severely affected than inner hair cells

♀	phenotype observed in females
♂	phenotype observed in males
N	normal phenotype

Microglia activation in the white matter in Ercc2, Ercc6, and Ercc8 mutants

neoplasm

increased incidence of tumors by UV-induction ( J:74959 )

• increased incidence of skin and eye tumors after chronic exposure to UVB radiation

• skin and eye tumors are typical squamous cell cancers

vision/eye

photophobia ( J:74959 )

• mutants attempt to avoid light exposure by keeping eyes closed indicating photophobia

retina photoreceptor degeneration ( J:74959 )

• progressive photoreceptor degeneration

nervous system

microgliosis ( J:179808 )

• in the white matter

astrocytosis ( J:179808 )

• in the white matter

retina photoreceptor degeneration ( J:74959 )

• progressive photoreceptor degeneration

cellular

increased cellular sensitivity to ultraviolet irradiation ( J:74959 )

• mouse embryonic fibroblasts are ultraviolet-sensitive but show normal unscheduled DNA synthesis

abnormal DNA repair ( J:74959 )

• mouse embryonic fibroblasts fail to resume RNA synthesis after UV-exposure and are unable to remove cyclobutane pyrimidine dimmers photolesions form the transcribed strand of active genes, indicating a defect in transcription-coupled repair (TCR)

homeostasis/metabolism

photophobia ( J:74959 )

• mutants attempt to avoid light exposure by keeping eyes closed indicating photophobia

abnormal DNA repair ( J:74959 )

integument

increased sensitivity to skin irradiation ( J:74959 )

• mutants show UV-sensitivity; mutants develop severe erythema of the skin and ears and irritation of the eyelids after UVB light exposure for 5 consecutive days

skin photosensitivity ( J:74959 )

• mutants develop erythrema of the skin, ears, and eyelids after UVB exposure

hematopoietic system

microgliosis ( J:179808 )

• in the white matter

immune system

microgliosis ( J:179808 )

• in the white matter

behavior/neurological

photophobia ( J:74959 )

• mutants attempt to avoid light exposure by keeping eyes closed indicating photophobia

neoplasm

increased incidence of tumors by UV-induction ( J:74959 )
