Assessment of X bends in patients with atypical X chromosome phenotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Several patients with X chromosome structural abnormalities have been more severely affected clinically than expected. Since bends at Xq13-21 have been associated with inactivation, the authors scored bends retrospectively in 62 patients with X chromosome aneuploidy and 21 cases with structural abnormalities of the X chromosome. They found that patients with 2 X inactivation sites where one X was structurally...
