Insertion of a P{lacW} element.
lethal - all die during embryonic stage | recessive
some die during embryonic stage | recessive
chordotonal organ | lateral
presumptive embryonic/larval peripheral nervous system
Homozygous embryos exhibit elongation of lateral chordotonal (Lch) neuron cell bodies and dendrites and subtle pathfinding defects.
sktl05475
Since sktl is nested within an intron of insc, and the locus corresponds to that previously known as 'fam', all alleles previously ascribed to 'fam' are considered to be alleles of both sktl and insc until shown to be otherwise.

P{lacW} insertion can be excised and revert the lethal phenotype to wild type.
