Mutant females produce egg chambers with mispositioned oocytes and packaging defects. In these ovaries, packaging defects occur with variable frequency and include egg chambers with fewer than 16 germline cysts as well as egg chambers that contain multiple germline cysts. The mis-positioning of the oocyte is seen more consistently - the oocyte is found in the middle or the anterior of the egg chamber. This can be already be seen in the germarium, suggesting a defect in the early positioning of the oocyte. The mis-positioning phenotype occurs in ~10% of egg chambers from 3 to 4 day old mutant females.
