## Abstract Cancer/testis (CT) genes are normally expressed in germ cells only, yet are reactivated and expressed in some tumors. Of the approximately 40 CT genes or gene families identified to date, 20 are on the X chromosome and are present as multigene families, many with highly conserved member
The potentially unbalanced expression at preimplantation developmental stages of Xlinked genes might be responsible of the faster development of male than female embryos in vitro. Two genes located on the X chromosome, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transfer
