Stereocilia defects in Myo7aHdb/Myo7a+ mice

behavior/neurological
• head bobbing observed following weaning
• appeared hyperactive after weaning

hearing/vestibular/ear
• at E18.5 and P1, apical stereocilia bundles of inner hair cells did not exhibit a height gradient and inner hair cell stereocilia were disorganized
• at P1, the basal inner hair cell stereocilia were disorganized
• at P20, the inner hair cell stereocilia had more stereocilia sprouting from each cell that had elongated and fused together to form giant stereocilia
• at E18.5 and P1, apical stereocilia bundles of outer hair cells did not exhibit a height gradient
• at P20, the apical outer hair cell bundles formed a more circular pattern
• at P1, basal outer hair cell stereocilia bundles formed a U-shape rather than a V-shape
• at P20, utricles displayed bundles of very long and thin rigid stereocilia without the normal staircase arrangement while at 5 months, stereocilia bundles lost their rigidity, were splayed and lay against the utricular surface and showed wispy ends
• 20-23 day old mutants displayed a large increase in the compound action potential thresholds from the round window of the cochlea at low frequencies (3-12 kHz)
