Abstract excerpt
ChrX cellular mosaicism for X-linked genetic polymorphisms in females versus the single ChrX representation in males denotes a genetic difference, which may contribute to gender bias in the inflammatory response. This hypothesis was tested in female F1 offspring of consomic mice (BL6J-ChrX(A/J)/NaJ) that were homokaryotic or mosaic for the active BL6 and AJ ChrXs or for IRAK1 deficiency linked to the BL6 ChrX....
