Deletion of the entire lft coding region.
Homozygous lftTG2 wings display altered wing morphology and aberrant posterior ridges, but wild-type hair polarity.
Homozygotes have a reduced wing length compared to controls. The average wing area is 82% of that in wild type, and the average distance between the anterior and the posterior crossveins is reduced to 59% of that in wild type.
lftTG2/lft3762 and lft3709/lftTG2 flies have a reduced wing length compared to controls (the distance between the anterior and the posterior crossveins is reduced).
The orientation of wing hairs is not significantly affected in mutant flies.

The distance between the anterior and posterior crossveins is greatly reduced in ft1 lftTG2 double mutants. Additional phenotypes are seen in the double mutant that are not seen in either single mutant; the posterior crossvein is incomplete and the L2 vein is often both incomplete and associated with ectopic vein material.
ft1 lftTG2 double mutants have shorter legs than normal and individual leg segments (including the femur and tibia) are bother shorter and broader than normal (leg growth is only very subtly affected in either single mutant). The legs of the double mutant flies have only four tarsal segments instead of the usual five.
ft1 lftTG2 double mutants have obvious planar cell polarity phenotypes in the wings and legs (in contrast to either single mutant).
Expression of Hsap\LIX1Scer\UAS.T:Zzzz\FLAG under the control of Scer\GAL4tub partially rescues the wing phenotype of lftTG2 mutants.
