Abstract excerpt
Patients with unbalanced X-autosome translocations are rare and usually present a skewed X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) pattern, with the derivative chromosome being preferentially inactivated, and with a possible spread of XCI into the autosomal regions attached to it, which can inactivate autosomal genes and affect the patients' phenotype. We describe three patients carrying different unbalanced X-autosome...
