Frequencies of various phenotypes in inner ears of Otx1 and Otx2 mutants

Genotype No. of animals Lack of lateral canal and ampulla Lack of separation of utricle and saccule Lack or aberrant cochleo saccular duct Aberrant saccule Misshapen cochlea
Hook region No. of coils Aberrant shape
Otx1 −/− 11 11 11 11 6 11 9 5
Otx1 −/− Otx2 +/− 9 9 9 9 7 9 8 7
hOtx21/hOtx21 7 7 6 5 0 5 1 0
Otd1/Otd1 6 6 6 5 6 5 0 0
hOtx12/hOtx12 10 0 9 9 10 10 9 10

All mutant mice were scored between 15 to 16.5 dpc. At these stages, the cochlea should coil from 1.5 to a mature 1.75 turns. Any cochlea that had 1.5 turns was considered normal in order to accommodate for variability in staging and possible developmental delay of mutants.
