Age acquired skewed X Chromosome Inactivation is associated with adverse health outcomes in humans
2022-04-05
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Ageing is a heterogenous process characterised by cellular and molecular hallmarks, including changes to haematopoietic stem cells, and is a primary risk factor for chronic diseases. X chromosome inactivation (XCI) randomly transcriptionally silences either the maternal or paternal X in each cell of XX,46 females to balance the gene expression with XY,46 males.
