Expression of selected genes escaping from X inactivation in the 41, XXY* mouse model for Klinefelter’s syndrome
17 Jan 2011
Abstract excerpt
AIM: We hypothesized that patients with Klinefelter's syndrome (KS) not only undergo X inactivation, but also that genes escape from inactivation. Their transcripts would constitute a significant difference, as male metabolism is not adapted to a 'female-like' gene dosage. We evaluated the expression of selected X-linked genes in our 41, XX(Y)* male mice to determine whether these genes escape inactivation and...
