Nonrandom X-inactivation patterns in normal females: lyonization ratios vary with age
1996-07-01
Abstract excerpt
Abstract The utility of X-inactivation based clonality assays for evaluation of human neoplasia is well-documented. However, excessive Lyonization is a potential limitation of these assays, because it mimics clonal derivation of cells. The incidence of excessive Lyonization in healthy females is controversial, with reported incidence varying from 4% to 33%. Several explanations have been offered for the observed v...
