site of nucleic acid difference inferred by FlyBase curator based on reported amino acid change
Most ovaries of 5 day old homozygous females contain a few germ cells, while the number of ovaries completely lacking germ cells increases with age. Hemizygous stil4/Df(2R)vg135 females have a stronger phenotype, with a greater proportion of ovaries completely lacking germ cells. stil1/stil4 ovaries have relatively normal egg chambers, although the oocyte is often in an abnormal position. The dominant ovoD2 phenotype is not significantly enhanced by one copy of stil4.
