Homozygotes show significant lethality during all stages examined (embryogenesis to pharate adult). Some homozygous adults are able to eclose, but they die 2 to 3 days later. Homozygous pharate adults have malformed legs which may fail to extend to the tip of the abdomen but remain organised. The femur may contain constrictions. 91% of mutant mid-prepupae have at least one malformed leg, 94% of mutant pupae and adults have at least one malformed leg.

Separable from: CG6426k10209. The lethality of the "l(2)k10209" chromosome (caused by l(2)k10209k10209) is separable from the P{lacW}CG6426k10209 insertion.
Separable from: P{lacW}CG6426k10209. The P{lacW}CG6426k10209 insertion in the "l(2)k10209" line is separable from the mutation causing the lethality and malformed leg phenotypes (l(2)k10209k10209).
This allele was listed in the BDGP database as a lethal or sterile line during the period 1994-1999, but was discarded from the gene disruption project prior to the summary publication (FBrf0111489). Reasons for excluding lines from the collection described in FBrf0111489 include presence of more than one P insertion on the mutant chromosome, separation of lethality (or sterility) from the location of the insertion, and loss of lethality (or sterility) from the stock.
