Wunspecified mutant embryos at stage 17 have an average of 5.8 midline glial cells per segment (n=182), compared to an average of 2.8 per segment in wild-type.
Embryos often show defects in head involution and the brain appears larger than normal.

The rough eye phenotype caused by expression of ttm50Scer\UAS.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4GMR.PF is suppressed by Wunspecified/+.
pieEB3/+ is lethal in combination with Wunspecified/+.
hpoKC202 mutant clones partially suppress the cell death observed in eye discs that ectopically express Wunspecified.
The reduction in midline glial cell numbers seen in commΔe39 mutant embryos is suppressed in double mutants with Wunspecified. These rescued midline glial cells are scattered throughout the midline, which lacks axons in these animals. The absence of midline glia (MG) in rlunspecified embryos is suppressed by Wunspecified/Wunspecified, although the resulting cells are mislocated, lying directly below the cuticle, often in clusters of up to 20 cells. Approximately twice as many MG cells survive as in wild-type.
