Position effect variegation (PEV) at the B locus caused by Dp(1;Y)BarSCV is dominantly enhanced by Dp(2;2)Mdh, and suppressed by Df(2R)en-A or Df(2R)en-SFX31.
Show variegation for B. With a normal X, the eye phenotype is B+, with XY, it is BS and with C(1;YL)4 or XYS, it is intermediate B. The enhancers of variegation, Df(2R)M41A1 and E(var)7, shift the phenotype of Dp(1;Y)BarSCV flies toward normal (BSVY), whereas deficiencies that wholly or partially remove Histone genes (Df(2L)TW65, Df(2L)TW84, and Df(2L)TW161) shift the phenotype toward BS (FBrf0033732).
