Drl-2E124/Df(2R)Exel8057 flies show defects in the mushroom body: approximately 60% lack the α lobe. In those animals where α axons are affected, 90% of the α axons show misguidance, while the rest show growth defects.
No lateral transverse muscle attachment defects are observed in Drl-2E124 mutant stage 16 embryos.
Drl-2E124 mutants display mild antennal lobe defects, but the commissure between the antennal lobes remains intact. Two glomeruli are observed in aberrant locations. VM7v is shifted dorsally slightly, whereas VL1 is positioned ventrally. The direction of movement of the glomeruli is clockwise.
Mutant embryos have salivary glands that curve ventrally at the tip, instead of lying parallel to the midline as in wild-type embryos.

The severity of the mushroom body α axon misguidance phenotype seen in flies expressing two copies of Wnt5Scer\UAS.cFa under the control of Scer\GAL4c739 is significantly enhanced (to over 10%) if they are also carrying either drl2/+ or Drl-2E124/+. Flies simultaneously carrying both drl2/+ and Drl-2E124/+ and expressing two copies of Wnt5Scer\UAS.cFa under the control of Scer\GAL4c739 show misguidance of α axons in over 40% of cases.
Double mutant drlR343 Drl-2E124 flies frequently lack the commissure between antennal lobes and often exhibit repositioning of glomeruli in a clockwise manner.
Overexpression of Wnt5GS1192 in drlR343 mutant olfactory receptor neurons (under the control of Scer\GAL4AM29) severely affects axonal projections; olfactory receptor neuron axons target ectopic regions near the original antennal lobe positions, enhancing the drlR343 mutant phenotype. This enhancement is ameliorated through the loss of Drl-2 in Drl-2E124 mutants. Olfactory receptor neuron axons project to the normal antennal lobe positions in these triple mutants. The glomerular pattern is similar to that of drlR343 Drl-2E124 double mutants.

Expression of Drl-2Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC under the control of Scer\GAL4c739 rescues the formation of the mushroom body α lobe in the majority of Drl-2E124/Df(2R)Exel8057 flies, with the degree of rescue depending on the number of copies of Drl-2Scer\UAS.T:Hsap\MYC used. This rescue is suppressed by the co-expression of Scer\GAL80Mef2.mb247.
