Wide, meandering excretory canals, with some septate fluid-filled cysts. Canal enlargement visible from L1 through adult. Defect visible only by Nomarski microscopy. n2669 was originally listed as an allele of exc-5. Later repeated complementation tests showed n2669 to be an allele of a novel locus positioned close to exc-5.

The cysts form primarily at the cell body. Some of the larger cysts may be visible by low power microscopy. Slight variable defects in the tail whip. 100% penetrant.
