The maternal X chromosome impairs cognition and accelerates brain aging through epigenetic modulation in female mice
2022-03-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Female mammalian cells harbor two X chromosomes, one of maternal and one of paternal origin. During development, one X randomly inactivates 1–4 . This renders either the maternal or paternal X active, causing X mosaicism that varies among individual females, with some showing considerable or complete skew in the general female population 5–7 . Parent-of-X-origin can modify epigenetics via DNA m...
