ATP7DEL.EGFP fails to rescue ATP7ΔP17
The lethality of ATP7ΔP17/Y hemizygous males cannot be rescued by combination with ATP7DEL.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP. Although combination with ATP7DEL.T:Avic\GFP-EGFP partially rescues the minimal post-hatching growth of ATP7ΔP17 mutant male larvae it has no appreciable effect on the mouthpart development and pigmentation defects.
