N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• mice show variable ability to swim

vision/eye
• light eyes at birth

hearing/vestibular/ear
• variable absence of otoconia; some mice lack otoconia and some have reduced levels
• many lack otoliths in one or both ears
• mice with absent otoconia show absent vestibular compound action potentials
• variable defects in latencies, amplitudes and thresholds of VESPs, dependent on amounts of otoconia present

homeostasis/metabolism
• no releasable ATP
• serotonin levels in platelets is 8% of control levels
• reduced secretion of glucuronidase and serotonin in response to thrombin although serotonin secretion in the absence of thrombin was high
• reduced platelet aggregation induced by collagen
• greater than 15 minutes
• decreased rate of lysosomal enzyme excretion into urine

renal/urinary system
• decreased rate of lysosomal enzyme excretion into urine
• increased ceroid-like pigment detectable in proximal tubules

cellular
• no releasable ATP
• increased levels of beta-glucuronidase, beta-galactosidase, and beta-glucosidase in the kidney but not liver or platelet

pigmentation
• muted brown fur with white under fur (J:29164)
• color intensity about 80% that of controls (J:88797)
• light eyes at birth
• marked absence of fully pigmented, elongated melanosomes in skin
• accumulation of abnormal vescicular forms
• many striated melanosomes
• impaired melanosome maturation and reduced numbers per unit area
• immature melanosomes exocytosed by melanocytes and taken up keratinocytes

hematopoietic system
• lack of dense granules with clear outlines
• no releasable ATP
• serotonin levels in platelets is 8% of control levels
• reduced secretion of glucuronidase and serotonin in response to thrombin although serotonin secretion in the absence of thrombin was high
• reduced platelet aggregation induced by collagen

integument
• muted brown fur with white under fur (J:29164)
• color intensity about 80% that of controls (J:88797)
