Abstract excerpt
Random X chromosome (ChrX) inactivation and consequent cellular mosaicism for the active ChrXs in white blood cells (WBCs) is unique to females and may contribute to sex-biased modulation of the innate immune response. Polymorphic differences between the two parental ChrXs may result in ChrX skewing of circulating WBCs (ChrX inactivation-ratio (XCI) > 3) driven by differences in stem cell selection and activity...
