Imprecise excision of the P{lacW}Madk00223 element, resulting in a deletion of 58bp which has been partially replaced by a 35bp random sequence upstream of the gkt transcriptional start site.
Homozygotes die at late embryonic/early larval stages. Embryos derived from females carrying homozygous germline clones show major disruption of the epidermis and central nervous system. There is an almost complete failure of normal axonal outgrowth, which is apparent from the early stages.
