One copy of Df(2L)net-PM47C is unable to suppress position effect variegation (PEV) at the w locus caused by In(1)w^m4.

One copy of Df(2L)net-PM47C moderately suppresses the telomeric position effect (TPE) in stocks carrying a variegating P{hsp26-pt-T}39C-5 insertion at the telomere of the left arm of chromosome two.

The Df(2L)net-PM47C chromosome acts as a dominant weak suppressor of telomeric silencing (assayed using the effect of the chromosome on the eye colour phenotype of flies carrying "P{w^var}KR3-2", a stable "brown-red" variant of the P{3'WP-2,w^var}2Lt insertion), but this is assumed to be a false positive result (the suppressor may not be within the bounds of the deficient region) because the 2L TAS array on the chromosome is missing or reduced (as assayed by in situ hybridization) and it has previously been shown (FBrf0137248, FBrf0158986) that partial or complete deficiency of the 2L TAS array on the homologue suppresses silencing of brown-red variants of P{3'WP-2,w^var}2Lt.
