Abstract excerpt
X-linked genetic disorders typically affect females less severely than males owing to the presence of a second X Chromosome not carrying the deleterious variant. However, the phenotypic expression in females is highly variable, which may be explained by an allelic skew in X-Chromosome inactivation. Accurate measurement of X inactivation skew is crucial to understand and predict disease phenotype in carrier...
