Polytene chromosomes normal.
Deletion of nucleotides 2,667,211-2,663,845 (numbering based on nucleotide position of chromosome arm 3R, according to genome release number 5.7). This 3.4kb deletion removes the 3' portion of the second exon, a splice site and a portion of the second intron. Scr17 has the potential to encode a truncated protein of 242 amino acid residues.
Reported as a deletion of nucleotides 2,667,211-2,663,845, FlyBase R5.7.
