| WBPhenotype:0000166 | seam cell fusion variant | Variations in the ability of seam cells to fuse to form a continuous syncytium along the body wall late larval development, (separate from the hyp 7 syncytium), compared to control (WormAtlas). Hypodermal seam cells lie along the lateral body wall to form longitudinal stripes of epithelial cells underlying the alae, and are required for alae formation. |
| WBPhenotype:0001433 | precocious cell fusion | Two or more individual cells form a syncytium (a mass of cytoplasm containing several nuclei enclosed within a single plasma membrane) via the fusion of the plasma membranes at an earlier stage of development compared to comparable cells in control animals. |
