Abstract excerpt
The pattern of X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) can affect the clinical severity of X-linked disorders in females. XCI pattern analysis has been conducted mainly by HUMARA assay, a polymerase chain reaction-based assay using a methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme. However, this assay examines the XCI ratio of the androgen receptor gene at the genomic DNA level and does not reflect the ratio of either targeted...
