N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• mutant mice lose the Preyer reflex between 4.5 and 10 months of age
• mutant and control mice show a robust reflex at 2.5 months
• mice show an abnormal reaching response when suspended by tail in air at 2.5 months of age
• significant deterioration at 4.5 months of age
• headtossing begins at age 4-6 weeks

hearing/vestibular/ear
• the mutant cochleas appear very immature
• a developmental delay is apparent in stereocilia
• abnormal development of stereocilla in the cochlea is detectable as early as birth
• reported degeneration of outer and inner hair cells
• reported degeneration of vestibular hair cells
• the saccular and utricular otoliths are present and normal

N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• mice show mild behavioral anomalies around 5 months of age that deteriorate irreversibly to severe balance problems

hearing/vestibular/ear
• most hair bundles anchored on remaining outer hair cells and inner hair cells retain normal morphology, but some are disorganized with fused stereocilia and rotated polarity
• some hair bundles show rotated polarity
• minor hair cell degeneration is seen on the basilar membrane at 3 weeks of age that progresses over time such that severe hair cell loss is seen at 9 weeks after birth
• mice exhibit elevated ABR hearing thresholds at 3 weeks of age which progress irreversibly over time
• all mice become profoundly deaf by 12 weeks after birth

nervous system
• most hair bundles anchored on remaining outer hair cells and inner hair cells retain normal morphology, but some are disorganized with fused stereocilia and rotated polarity
• some hair bundles show rotated polarity
• minor hair cell degeneration is seen on the basilar membrane at 3 weeks of age that progresses over time such that severe hair cell loss is seen at 9 weeks after birth
