Phenotype Image Detail

Caption Scanning electron micrographs taken from the apex (A,E), the middle (B,F), and the base (C,G) of Myo7aHdb/Myo7a+ (Hdb/+) and Myo7aHdb/Myo7a+ Myo7a4626SB/Myo7a+ (Hdb/Myo7a4626SB) from a complementation test between the mutants. Inner hair cell (IHC) fusion was evident predominantly in the apical coil of the compound heterozygote cochleae (E); however this was not as frequent as seen in the homozygous Hdb cochlea. Outer hair cell (OHC) stereocilia bundles formed into irregular V and O shapes in the apical (E) and the middle (F) coils. IHC stereocilia bundles in the middle (F) and basal (G) coils appeared comparable to control (B and C), respectively) with very few fused bundles. The Myo7aHdb/Myo7a+ Myo7a4626SB/Myo7a+ hair cell phenotype did not resemble the Myo7ash1/Myo7ash1 (sh/sh) phenotype (compare H and E apical coil). P3 Myo7ash1/Myo7ash1 samples are shown in this example rather than adults, because hair cells degenerate rapidly making comparison with the Myo7aHdb phenotype difficult (D, Myo7ash1/Myo7a+ (+/sh) littermate control). Scale bar, 10um.
