Flies expressing Fancd2dsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PU have no observable morphological defects. When exposed to four different cross-linking agents (diepoxybutane, mitomycin C, cisplatinum and nitrogen mustard) a greater proportion of flies have small, rough eyes compared to wild type controls. Ectopic growths are also seen. This response is not observed in response to the alkylating agent methylmethanesulfanate or in response to radiation treatment.
In contrast to controls, expression of Fancd2dsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU results in chromosome nondisjunction in larval neuroblasts. The rate of chromosome fusions is enhanced in response to cisplatinum treatment, in particular the frequency with which chromosome four is fused with chromosome two. No difference in relative telomere length is seen in flies expressing Fancd2dsRNA.Scer\UAS compared to controls.
Unlike in wild type, cells in the brain lobes of flies expressing Fancd2dsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU continue to progress through the S-phase checkpoint following exposure to ionising irradiation.

Expression of Fancd2dsRNA.Scer\UAS in the eyes under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PU enhances the rate of eye tumor formation in wtsx1/+ mutant flies treated with nitrogen mustard.
Expression of Mnn1Scer\UAS.P\T.cBa does not alter the rough eye phenotype seen in flies expressing Fancd2dsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PU in response to the cross-linking agent cisplatinum.
The presence of homozygous Mnn1e200 does not alter the rough eye phenotype seen in flies expressing Fancd2dsRNA.Scer\UAS under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PU in response to the cross-linking agent cisplatinum.
Expression of Fancd2dsRNA.Scer\UAS in the eyes under the control of Scer\GAL4ey.PU in a wtsx1/+ mutant background does not enhance the rate of eye tumor formation compared to controls in normal conditions. However the number of eye tumors is significantly increased when flies are treated with either nitrogen mustard or cisplatinum. This increase is restricted to eye tumors; the rate of tumours in other anatomical locations is similar to controls.
Expression of FancldsRNA.Scer\UAS is unable to enhance the severity of the rough eye phenotype seen when Fancd2dsRNA.Scer\UAS is expressed alone. The proportion of flies that display a rough eye phenotype is similar across both of the single mutants and the double mutant.
