Caption | Dumbo ear and cranial malformations. Control (a, c) and Hmx1dmbo/Hmx1dmbo (dumbo; b, d) live mouse images. Note ventrolateral displacement of ear pinnae in the mutant. Image analysis of dissected control and dumbo pinnae revealed no difference in overall surface area, but the mutant ears were less concave, giving the impression of a larger area (data not shown). Most dumbo mice exhibit microphthalmia, as is evident in these images. Lateral (e, f) and dorsal (g, h) views of bone/cartilage skull preps. The calvaria was removed for the dorsal views. Compared to heterozygous controls (e), dumbo skulls (f) show malformations of the squamous temporal bone ("st"; the asterisk marks a region where dumbo mice exhibit an extra notch). Hyperplasia of the gonial bone ("gn") is evident in mutants (f, h) vs controls (e, g). rtp = retrotympanic process; MC = Meckel's cartilage; ma = malleus; tmp = ectotympanic. | ||||
