Heterozygosity for Df(2L)Trf-C6R31 results in 1.7% X chromosome nondisjunction and 1.9% fourth chromosome nondisjunction in In(1)FM7/X ; svspa-pol females.
No second site non-complementing phenotype with zipEbr and zipmhc-c6.1.
Homozygotes show embryonic lethality.
The Df(2L)Trf-C6R31 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{wvar}KR3-2", a stable "brown-red" variant of the P{3'WP-2,wvar}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 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,wvar}2Lt.
