Homozygotes are 100% viable. HSPC300EP506/HSPC300Δ54.3 animals show 30% viability.
Zygotic null, maternal hypomorph embryos (derived from HSPC300EP506/HSPC300Δ54.3 females mated to HSPC300Δ54.3/+ males) sometimes show abnormal crossing of the midline by axons (10% of embryos), and in the most severe cases, axons ectopically cross the midline several times. Commissures and longitudinal connectives are not properly formed.
