Homozygous larval brain cells contain many telomere-telomere attachments, resulting in a variety of aberrant chromosome configurations. In a few cases, polycentric chromosomes involving most of the genetic complement are seen. Lagging chromatin is seen in anaphase I and anaphase II of male meiosis. Female meiosis appears normal.
Etymology: efftre2 is named 'trenino' (meaning 'little train' in Italian) after the appearance of the multicentric chromosomes seen in larval brain cells.
