phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• at 2 weeks of age, fewer than expected homozygotes are present

growth/size/body
• dysplastic lateral nasal wall development
• nasal turbinates are small and asymmetric
• lateral deviation of the cartilagenous nasal septum
• disorganized and thin
• animals weigh less than controls

vision/eye
• 60% of mice exhibit eye defects that are variable and range in severity, with defects appearing either unilaterally or bilaterally
• elongation of lens fibers is distorted
• lens size is reduced at E12.5 and greatly reduced by E14.5
• at E14.5, the neural retina is folded upon itself and is thick
• delayed closure of the lens cup at E10.5
• delayed invagination of the optic cup at E10.5
• increased numbers of mesenchymal cells in the space between the optic cup and lens at E10.5; this number increased until E14.5, when they fill the hyaloid cavity

respiratory system
• dysplastic lateral nasal wall development
• nasal turbinates are small and asymmetric
• lateral deviation of the cartilagenous nasal septum
• disorganized and thin

taste/olfaction
N
• mice appear to have no defect in olfactory function
• disorganized and thin

nervous system
• reduction in number and size of nerve terminals in the olfactory epithelium

hearing/vestibular/ear
• canals are absent at E14.5

craniofacial
• reduced overall length
• dysplastic lateral nasal wall development
• nasal turbinates are small and asymmetric
• lateral deviation of the cartilagenous nasal septum
• disorganized and thin

skeleton
• reduced overall length
• nasal turbinates are small and asymmetric

N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• affected mice are unable to remain at the surface of water for more than 1-2 minutes

craniofacial
• skull length is reduced by 10%
• length is approximately 75% of controls

hearing/vestibular/ear
N
• normal Preyer's reflex and normal auditory brain stem responses are seen suggesting that mice are not deaf
• vestibular apparatus appeared normal with normal utricle and sacculi as well as the associated maculae and otoliths
• dramatic reduction in the horizontal canal
• lack the usual convex shape and evagination; appear flattened in the horizontal canal and to a lesser extent in the posterior and anterior canals

skeleton
• skull length is reduced by 10%
• length is approximately 75% of controls

respiratory system
• length is approximately 75% of controls

growth/size/body
• length is approximately 75% of controls
