Fragile-X mutation proposed to block complete reactivation in females of an inactive X chromosome.

American journal of medical genetics - 1 Jan 2000

Laird C D

Abstract excerpt

I discuss two aspects of my proposal that fra(X) chromosomes exist in two states, imprinted and non-imprinted: why do males not imprint the fra(X); does the "Sherman paradox" rule out my proposal?
