      gcmG78 mutant embryos exhibit a reduced number of glial cells in the central nervous system. The pattern of missing glial cells appears to be random, with deficiencies in all CNS glial subtypes in each segment.

      gcmG78 mutant embryos exhibit a 56% reduction in the number of repo-positive glia.

      gcmG78/gcm1308 transheterozygotes exhibit a reduced number of glial cells in the embryonic central nervous system. The pattern of missing glial cells appears to be random, with deficiencies in all CNS glial subtypes in each segment.

      gcmG78/gcm1308 transheterozygous embryos exhibit a 53% reduction in the number of repo-positive glia.

      gcmΔP1/gcmG78 transheterozygotes exhibit a dramatic reduction in the number of glial cells in the embryonic central nervous system. These embryos display few glial cells near the midline along the longitudinal axon tracts, with the glial cells abnormally clustered along the lateral edges of the CNS.

      gcmΔP1/gcmG78 transheterozygous embryos exhibit a 69% reduction in the number of repo-positive glia.
