single gene (monogenic) mutations and/or interactions between multiple genes

58
Q

why is our knowledge in molecular basis of inner ear development important

A

It is incomplete but necessary to some day fully understand how the inner ear develops and perhaps prevent/treat gene mutations that can lead to auditory/vestibular disorders

59
Q

Describe the inner ear formation at week 3

A

The first part of the inner ear to form is the otic placode (superficial thickening of surface ectoderm located on either side of the open neural tube).
Otic placodes sink inward and become otic pits. The otic pit is located dorsal to the second pharyngeal cleft.

60
Q

Describe inner ear formation at week 4

A

The neural tube should be closed by now.
The otic pit closes with its edges fused to form the otocyst.
The otocyst turns into the membranous labyrinth.

61
Q

what happens during week 6-8 of inner ear

A

Otocyst continues to divide into the vestibular and cochlear portions.
Ventral part of the otocyst gives rise to the saccule and cochlear duct.
Dorsal part of the otocyst gives rise to the utricle, semicircular canals, and endolymphatic duct.
Cochlea begins to coil.

62
Q

what happens to inner ear during week 7-12

A

Cochlea’s 2.5 coils are completed and the 3 semicircular canals have formed.
Sensory and supporting cells are developing in vestibular and cochlear sensory end organs.
By month 3, the otic capsule begins ossifying. The vestibular end organs are primary and complete before the cochlea. This is why we see more cochlea developmental deviations than in the vestibular.
