MZ female twins discordant for X-linked diseases: a review.

Acta geneticae medicae et gemellologiae - 1 Jan 1994

Tiberio G

Abstract excerpt

The 20 reported cases of MZ female twins discordant for X-linked diseases are reviewed. In such twins the X-inactivation pattern is opposite skewing (abnormal allele inactivated in most cells of the normal twin, and normal allele inactivated in most cells of the affected twin) or skewing in one twin and random in the cotwin. The diseases involved map in two specific regions: Xq27-28 and Xp21. The only exceptions...
