The morphology of mid-modiolar sections of the organ of Corti was compared between heterozygous (Slc26a7^Δ/+ top panel; A, B, C, D) and knockout mice (Slc26a7^Δ/Δ, bottom panel; E, F, G, H) of P15 littermates. No differences were observed between corresponding cochlear half-turns (labeled I, II, III, IV from the base to the apex). An open tunnel of Corti in each turn is consistent with no delay in development at this age.
