A deletion introducing a frameshift that leads to a premature stop codon 232 amino acids into the fiz ORF.
A 32 bp deletion in the fiz coding sequence leads to a frameshift and early translation termination after the addition of 20 novel amino acids.
fizdel homozygotes exhibit significant increases in larval volume, adult weight, adult wing length (males and females) and area (female only), as well as in adult wing loading, as compared to controls.
