hearing/vestibular/ear

hearing/vestibular/ear phenotype ( J:296699 )

N • rotarod tests indicate vestibular function is intact

abnormal cochlear inner hair cell morphology ( J:296699 )

• decreased mitochondrial density and mitochondrial vacuolization

fused inner hair cell stereocilia ( J:296699 )

• at 6 months of age stereociliary bundles are fused and elongated at both turns

abnormal cochlear outer hair cell morphology ( J:296699 )

• decreased mitochondrial density and mitochondrial vacuolization

decreased cochlear outer hair cell number ( J:296699 )

• some outer hair cells are missing at the 32 kHz region

decreased outer hair cell stereocilia number ( J:296699 )

• remaining OHCs appear to have fewer steriocilia bundles at 6 months of age

cochlear outer hair cell degeneration ( J:296699 )

• selective degeneration of outer but not inner hair cells at the 32 kHz region at 4-6 months of age

abnormal utricle morphology ( J:296699 )

• utricular sensory epithelia appears smaller compared to wild-type controls

abnormal auditory brainstem response waveform shape ( J:296699 )

• reduced peak 1 amplitudes at 32 kHz at 2 months of age
