The phrase "abnormal ear" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in medical or anatomical contexts to describe an ear that deviates from the typical structure or function.
Example: "The patient presented with an abnormal ear, which raised concerns about potential hearing issues."
Alternatives: "deformed ear" or "irregular ear".
Using BSFseq we discovered that mutations in lmx1b and jagged1b cause abnormal ear morphogenesis.
These results provide strong evidence for the polygenic nature of earlobe attachment and offer insights into the biological basis of normal and abnormal ear development.
ttc26 knockdown fish showed hydrocephalus (black arrowhead), pronephric cyst (arrow), and abnormal ear otolith formation (white arrowhead).
Both morpholinos effectively suppressed TTC26 expression and caused phenotypes that are typical of defective cilia in zebrafish (Malicki et al., 2011), including left right asymmetry defects with abnormal heart looping, as well as hydrocephalus, pronephric cysts, abnormal ear otolith formation, and curly body axis.
The factors are classified as predisposing (increase the risk of otitis), primary (directly induce otitis), secondary (contribute to otitis only in an abnormal ear or in conjunction with predisposing factors), and perpetuating (result from inflammation and pathology in the ear, prevent resolution of otitis) [ 3- 6].
We show that the expression of mutations associated with BOR, even in the presence of normal levels of endogenous eya1 mRNA, leads to morphologically abnormal ear development as measured by overall otic vesicle size, establishment of sensory tissue and otic innervation.
Laegreid et al. [ 47- 49] have described a "benzodiazepine embryofetopathy" that involves extreme hypotonia, craniofacial abnormalities (epicanthus, low nasal bridge, abnormal ears, high arched palate), feeding difficulties, and delayed neuromotor development (table 2).
Doft dubbed her research the Newborn Butterfly Project because abnormal ears are coaxed through a natural metamorphosis, similar to how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly.
On the other hand her sibling had facial asymmetry and abnormal ears.
Our patient had a brother who was diagnosed with OAV with asymmetrical face and abnormal ears.
Abnormal external ear development on both sides and aberrant posterior rotation of the ears were noted as well.
