There are at least two causes of adult lethality in drd mutants; gut dysfunction and neurodegeneration are independent phenotypes, neurodegeneration being associated with respiratory system dysfunction.
Title: Neurodegeneration in drop-dead mutant drosophila melanogaster is associated with the respiratory system but not with Hypoxia.

The adult-lethal gene drd is required only during development. The mutant phenotypes of body mass and lifespan are separable phenotypes arising from an absence of drd expression at different developmental stages.
Title: Developmental expression of drop-dead is required for early adult survival and normal body mass in Drosophila melanogaster.

These findings are consistent with the previously reported loss in body control in the mutant and thus demonstrate the significance of the drop-dead gene for running behaviour in Drosophila.

nonsense mutation causes defects in food processing by the digestive system and in oogenesis
