Imprecise excision of the progenitor insertion, resulting in a 1540bp deletion of part of the Top3α coding sequence, starting from 203bp downstream of the first translational initiation codon. 638bp of the original insertion remain.

Homozygotes develop through the third larval instar stage with a 9 day delay compared to heterozygous siblings, and die at pupation. The brains of the homozygous third instar larvae are normal in size, but they completely lack imaginal discs.
Top3α6 is rescued by Top3αM26L.EYFP
Top3α6 is partially rescued by Top3αM1L.EYFP
Top3αM26L.T:Avic\GFP-EYFP fully rescues the viability defects of Top3α6 animals and the rescued animals are fertile.
