nervous system
abnormal olfactory sensory neuron morphology ( J:115911 )
• fewer cells expressing the mutant allele are present compared to control mice expressing Olfr151 promotor driven LacZ transgene
abnormal olfactory bulb morphology ( J:115911 )
• olfactory sensory neuron axons form ectopic, ventral glomeruli in the olfactory bulb in addition to glomeruli in the expected position
• two pairs of glomeruli are present in 44% of bulbs
• presence of extra glomeruli correlates to presence of 12-fold fewer cells in dorsal regions and 4- to 10-fold more cells in theventral region of the epithelium of endoturbinates II and III

craniofacial
abnormal olfactory sensory neuron morphology ( J:115911 )
• fewer cells expressing the mutant allele are present compared to control mice expressing Olfr151 promotor driven LacZ transgene

respiratory system
abnormal olfactory sensory neuron morphology ( J:115911 )
• fewer cells expressing the mutant allele are present compared to control mice expressing Olfr151 promotor driven LacZ transgene

taste/olfaction
abnormal olfactory sensory neuron morphology ( J:115911 )
• fewer cells expressing the mutant allele are present compared to control mice expressing Olfr151 promotor driven LacZ transgene

growth/size/body
abnormal olfactory sensory neuron morphology ( J:115911 )
• fewer cells expressing the mutant allele are present compared to control mice expressing Olfr151 promotor driven LacZ transgene

nervous system
abnormal olfactory bulb morphology ( J:115911 )
• olfactory sensory neuron axons form ectopic, ventral glomeruli in the olfactory bulb either with or without the presence of glomeruli in the expected position
• when only ectopic glomeruli are present both red and green axons are present; however when two pairs of glomeruli are present the ectopic glomeruli contain primarily red axons
