In homozygous abs04505 mutants aberrant central nervous system (CNS) fibres can be observes in then intercommissural space and the connectives are weakened and occasionally absent. Overall the CNS appears less compact than in wild-type.
Lethality is suppressed by the addition of abs+t5.8.

Phenotypic analysis provides an allelic series: absE2 << abs04505 = abs00620 < absII-F1 = abs45LR7.
