• at E8.5, the number of BrdU-labeled cells in the mutant otic placode is ~80% of wild-type embryos

• marker gene analyses at different stages indicate that primordia fated to form the endolymphatic duct are present but fail to outgrow normally
• at E12.5, homozygotes display two vesicle-like structures, with the one located medially showing strong Foxi1 expression in all 6 embryos examined, indicating that it is the endolymphatic duct/sac
• at E10.5 to E11.5, all homozygotes lack visible development of the cochlea
• at E10.5 to E11.5, all homozygotes lack visible development of the vestibule
• at E10.5 to E11.5, an abnormal vesicular structure is formed posteroventrally in 10 ears of 7 mutant embryos instead of a normal endolymphatic duct
• marker gene analysis indicates that development of endolymphatic duct is initiated but fails to form a normal structure
• at E10.5 to E11.5, a normal outgrowth of the endolymphatic duct is absent in all 20 ears of 10 mutant embryos studied; narrower dorsal tips are observed

• heterozygotes display some degree of hearing loss in at least one ear associated with abnormalities of the middle ear
