C554S
Missense mutation. There are also two silent substitutions.
zldZnF2 homozygous females and hemizygous males are viable albeit at strongly reduced levels but the females are sterile and lay fertilized embryos that arrest late in embryogenesis during stage 17 after tracheal branches have clearly formed. Some (~18%) zldZnF2 mutant adults have small, malformed eye.
