Statement
Reference
27.5% of homozygous Dscam[05518] embryos show defects in axon guidance in the Bolwig\'s nerve. 30% of segments fail to separate the anterior and posterior commissures correctly in Dscam[05518] embryos.
67% of Dscam[05518]/Dscam[05518] fra[4]/fra[4] embryos show defects in axon guidance in the Bolwig\'s nerve. The penetrance of the axon guidance defect phenotype that is seen in the Bolwig\'s nerve of Dscam[05518]/Dscam[05518] fra[4]/fra[4] double mutant embryos is not increased by addition of Dscam3[c02826]/Dscam3[c02826]. 22.5% of Dscam[05518]/+ ; fra[4]/+ embryos show defects in axon guidance in the Bolwig\'s nerve. 38% of Df(1)NP5/+ ; Dscam[05518]/+ embryos show defects in axon guidance in the Bolwig\'s nerve. 34% of Df(1)NetAB[Δ]/+ ; Dscam[05518]/+ embryos show defects in axon guidance in the Bolwig\'s nerve. 84% of segments fail to separate the anterior and posterior commissures correctly in Dscam[05518] Dscam3[c02826] embryos. Dscam[05518] fra[4] embryos show defects in the commissures of the central nervous system; 9% of anterior commissures are absent, 24% of anterior commissures are thin, 5% of posterior commissures are absent and 39% of posterior commissures are thin. 51% of segments fail to separate the anterior and posterior commissures correctly. Dscam[05518] Abl[4] embryos show defects in the commissures of the central nervous system; 23% of anterior commissures are absent, 33% of anterior commissures are thin, 65% of posterior commissures are absent and 26% of posterior commissures are thin. 19% of segments fail to separate the anterior and posterior commissures correctly. Dscam[05518] fra[4] Dscam3[c02826] embryos show defects in the commissures of the central nervous system; 39% of anterior commissures are absent, 51% of anterior commissures are thin, 36% of posterior commissures are absent and 55% of posterior commissures are thin. 5% of segments fail to separate the anterior and posterior commissures correctly. Dscam[05518] fra[4] Abl[4] embryos show defects in the commissures of the central nervous system; 98% of anterior commissures are absent, 2% of anterior commissures are thin and 100% of posterior commissures are absent. The severity of the SP1 axon midline crossing defects seen in fra[unspecified] embryos is enhanced in fra[unspecified] Dscam[05518] Dscam3[c02826] triple mutants. 37% of EG axon bundles are thin or absent in Dscam[05518] fra[unspecified] mutant embryos.
About 42% of Dscam05518/dock3 embryos exhibit some Bolwig\'s nerve targeting defects. About 38% of Dscam05518/Pak6 embryos exhibit some Bolwig\'s nerve targeting defects.
About 5% of heterozygotes exhibit some Bolwig\'s nerve targeting defects. Dscam05518 hemizygous mutants exhibit mild to severe disorganisation of embryonic axon tracts. Breaks in the connectives, predominantly of the outer two fascicles are observed. In addition axon bundles aberrantly cross the midline. Some 53%-58% of Bolwig\'s nerve (BN) projections are defective in Dscam1/Df(2R)cos-2 hemizygotes. In half of the "abnormal projections" the entire nerve mistargets, whereas in the remainder only a subset of axons does. Many otherwise normal projections show abnormal expansion of BN terminus at P2. These phenotypes are 53-58% penetrant.
