Abstract excerpt
Consistent differences in methylation of particular cytosine residues in the DNA of active and inactive X chromosomes can be used for rapid, direct analysis of X-inactivation patterns in different female tissues. We have studied methylation of the highly polymorphic DXS255 locus in tissues from patients with deficiency of the E1 alpha subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in whom the results can be...
