Polytene chromosomes normal.
Truncation of the C terminal 69 amino acids with six additional amino acids added due to frame shift.
304bp genomic SpeI fragment deleted, indicating that at least 19 amino acids are removed from the carboxy terminus of the H protein.
Homozygotes show loss of bristle shafts.
Homozygous flies show shaft-to-socket cell transformations.
H21 homozygotes exhibit an incomplete transformation of the external sensory organ shaft cell into a socket and the neuron into the sheath cell.
Almost all microchaetae show a double socket phenotype in homozygous adults.
Homozygous viable.
Occasionally a double socket appears on the head in the position of the postvertical macrochaetae. Failure of sensillum precursor development.
Less severe than H16. Almost completely recessive. Heterozygotes most frequently wildtype in phenotype, but occasionally a 'double socket' appears on the head in the position of a postvertical macrochaete or on the abdominal tergites. Homozygotes display a much stronger and more extensive mutant phenotype than H null heterozygotes. Many head and notum macrochaetes and approximately 50% of notum microchaetes missing; remaining 50% exhibit a spectrum of 'double socket' phenotypes. Homozygotes also exhibit loss of wing vein tissue from L4 and L5. Approximately 50% of flies carrying H21 in trans to a H null allele die as pharate adults. The remainder survive to eclosion, but are short-lived and exhibit extensive loss of both macrochaetes and microchaetes on the head, notum and abdominal tergites; only 20% of the notum microchaetes remain, all with a completely transformed 'double socket' phenotype.

Dominant suppressor of Brd: due to haploinsufficiency.
Posakony/Groger.
H21 and "H22" found to be same allele (FBrf0056117).
Weak H allele.
Same molecular lesion found for H22: authors conclude that these two lines include the same mutant allele. Phenotypic series of H alleles correlates with severity of molecular defects: in order of decreasing severity H18 = H20 > H21 > HD179.
