Imprecise excision of the P{SUPor-P}KG08729 element, resulting in a 1300bp deletion, which includes the ATG codon, exon 1, exon 2 and part of exon 3 of the pad gene.
pad2 mutants are late pupal lethals but some escapers are seen. pad2 flies have ectopic bristles on the notum. The density of notal microchaetes is also higher than wild type. Additionally, these flies have twisted legs.
