In the fragile X female carriers the degree of cognitive impairment appears to be correlated with activation status of the X chromosome bearing the expanded trinucleotide repeat in the promoter of the FMR1 gene. In this study we asked if the deviations from the primarily random pattern of X inactiva

Bo ¨rjeson-Forssman-Lehmann (BFL) syndrome is an X-linked recessive disorder characterized by minor facial anomalies, obesity, epilepsy, and severe mental retardation. The phenotype of male patients is usually severe, whereas that of carriers is less severe, suggesting X-linked incompletely recessiv

Patterns of X-chromosome inactivation in chorion, amnion, and cord from 79 pairs of twins were examined. Seven sets of triplets were included in the analysis, both as twin pairs and triplets. Twins were stratified as dizygotic (DZ), monozygotic (MZ), monochorionic, and dichorionic and were selected

The striking evidence of almost 100% association of narcolepsy with human leukocyte antigens (HLA) DR2(DR15) antigen is an important clue to elucidate the molecular basis of this sleep disorder. The gene for tumor necrosis factor ␣ (TNF ␣) is located in the HLA class II gene cluster. Recent studies

We have tested the hypothesis that contrasting X-inactivation patterns could be a trigger for monozygotic twinning in females. X-inactivation patterns were studied in umbilical cord tissue in 43 monozygotic twin pairs and 24 dizygotic twin pairs. Very skewed or non-random X-inactivation patterns wer
