In most cv-c7/cv-cM62 embryos Malpighian tubules fail to elongate.

The amplitudes of excitatory junction potentials (EJPs) evoked by stimulation at 0.3 Hz and recorded at third instar larval neuromuscular junctions of heterozygous cv-cM62/+ and cv-c1/cv-cM62 mutants are significantly increased above control levels. As a result, quantal content (QC) is about 70% higher than the QC in the wild-type control.

The posterior crossvein is completely absent from the wings of cv-c1/cv-cM62 flies. In cv-cM62 mutants, cells that contribute to the larval mouth skeleton fail to move into the embryo so that structures such as the medial tooth, the H piece and dorsal bridge remain on the surface of the embryo. In 28% of cv-cM62 posterior spiracles analysed , the cells that form the Filzkorper do not invaginate and instead form a lawn on the exterior. In 67% of posterior spiracles analysed, the Filzkorper cells invaginate but do so aberrantly such that the final Filzkorper is branched. In cv-cM62 embryos, dorsal closure is delayed and puckering of the dorsal cuticle is frequently observed. The anterior (and occasionally also the posterior) midgut constriction fails o develop. The Malpighian tubules form a single large cyst or ball-like structure instead of four elongated tubules. The cyst-like structure in mutants sometimes, but not always, exhibits a central lumen, which is revealed by the accumulation of secreted urates. In a small proportion of embryos, the distal regions of one and, occasionally, two tubules undergo normal convergent extension movements, with the distal tips finding their correct location within the body cavity.

The Rho172R abnormal tracheal invagination phenotype is partially suppressed by cv-cM62.

The following mutations fail to modify the cv-cM62 phenotype in the Malpighian tubules: Rac1J11, Rac2Δ, MtlΔ, Cdc421, Cdc422 and Cdc424. 50% of cv-cM62 mutant embryos additionally homozygous for Rho172R and 20% of cv-cM62 mutant embryos heterozygous for Rho172R have a Malpighian tubule phenotype that is significantly less severe than that of the cv-cM62 homozygote alone. The tubules of double mutant embryos still undergo convergent extension movements to some extent. Dorsal closure defects occur in 82% of Rac1J11, Rac2Δ double mutant embryos. If these mutants also carry the cv-cM62 mutation , 37% of these embryos are rescued. In cv-cM62, Rac1J11, Rac2Δ triple mutants, the posterior spiracle phenotype is enhanced compared to cv-cM62 mutants.

Expression of cv-cScer\UAS.cDa, under the control of Scer\GAL4ct.CtB, partially rescues the Malpighian tubule phenotype of cv-cM62 embryos.
