Abstract excerpt
Quantification of X-chromosome inactivation patterns (XCIPs) using PCR amplification of the human androgen receptor (HUMARA) locus is potentially valuable in a range of haematological disorders. Of 236 females screened, 203 (86%) were heterozygous. For quantitative XCIPs it was necessary to limit the number of PCR cycles to 20 to reduce preferential amplification of shorter alleles. The optimized PCR method was...
