Homozygous embryos show a reduction in the number of LCh5 neurons, loss of thoracic DCh3 neurons and an abnormal pattern of the axonal trajectories in the PNS.
Somatic clones in the head, induced during larval stages, lead to ectopic eye structures in the head. the ventral head region (gena and rostral membrane) is reduced as a consequence of the production of ectopic eyes, and the maxillary palps are frequently absent or abnormal in these clones.
Homozygous hthC1 somatic clones are capable of differentiating bristles.
Homozygous clones in the distal antenna show transformation to distal leg. Clones in tergites 2 and 3 in males result in a darkly pigmented cuticle, typical of a posterior tergite identity. Homozygous clones in anterior tergites in males also have a lower density of trichomes than surrounding wild-type cuticle, indicating a transformation to a more posterior identity.
Homozygous clones in the leg cause fusion of the coxa, trochanter and femur segments but do not cause defects in distal leg segments.
Clones in the antenna exhibit autonomous transformation to leg.
The normal pattern of the cuticle is disrupted in homozygous embryos and hthC1/Df(3R)hth embryos, with hthC1/Df(3R)hth embryos having a stronger phenotype than homozygous embryos. The denticle belts of the thoracic segments have an abdominal-like morphology in homozygous embryos, and the first abdominal segment is transformed to an identity resembling the fifth abdominal segment. In addition, segmental fusions are seen in hthC1/Df(3R)hth embryos.

Abd-BM8, AntpNs-rvC3, ScrC1, abd-AM1, hthC1 has embryonic abdominal segment phenotype
UbxIa.hs, hthC1 has embryonic head phenotype
UbxIa.hs, hthC1 has embryonic mesothoracic segment phenotype
UbxIa.hs, hthC1 has embryonic metathoracic segment phenotype
UbxIa.hs, hthC1 has embryonic prothoracic segment phenotype
The abdominal segments of AntpNs-rvC3 ScrC1 abd-AM1 Abd-BM8 hthC1 mutant embryos all resemble the third abdominal segment. Ubiquitous expression of UbxIa.hs in hthC1/hthC1 embryos transforms all three thoracic segments and 2-3 head segments into A5-like segments. Cuticles secreted by exd1 embryos lacking both maternal and zygotic exd function appear indistinguishable from those secreted by exd1 embryos lacking both maternal and zygotic exd function and also hemizygous for hthC1. exd1/exd1; hthC1/hthC1 double mutant embryos have stronger transformations than either exd1/exd1 or hthC1/hthC1 single mutant embryos. The homozygous embryonic phenotype is partially rescued by Mmus\Meis1hs.T:Hsap\MYC.
Germ line clonal analysis indicates that hth function is not required maternally.
