448bp deletion associated with the addition of 5 bases (CCAAA). The 5' breakpoint of the deletion is 108bp 3' of the female-specific splice acceptor site.
Deletion of 0.6kb DNA within region important for regulation of dsx expression.
small deletion in female exon
CCAAA
Reported as a deletion of 448bp associated with the insertion of 5 bases (CCAAA) at the deletion breakpoint. The mutation falls within the female-specific exon.
Egg chambers of dsxS/+ females appear normal. When heterozygous with a deficiency, pseudotestes form.
Brandt-Rosequist.
Results in a male specific dsx+ RNA, thus can be used to generate 2X males.
