      A partial A7-like terminal abdominal segment (similar to abdominal segment 7 found in wild-type females) forms and A6 sternite is transformed toward anterior identity in dsx1/dsx18 trans-heterozygous males.

      (Wang et al., 2011)

      Homozygous males and females are transformed into sexually indistinguishable intersexes.
