Genes that escape from X inactivation.

Human genetics - 1 Aug 2011

Berletch Joel B, Yang Fan, Xu Jun, Carrel Laura, Disteche Christine M

Abstract excerpt

To achieve a balanced gene expression dosage between males (XY) and females (XX), mammals have evolved a compensatory mechanism to randomly inactivate one of the female X chromosomes. Despite this chromosome-wide silencing, a number of genes escape X inactivation: in women about 15% of X-linked g...
