X chromosome inactivation involves a random choice to silence either X chromosome early in mammalian female development. Once silenced the inactive X is stably inherited through subsequent somatic cell divisions, and thus, females are generally mosaics, having a mixture of cells with one or the other parental X active.

Unlike males, who have one X chromosome, females have two X chromosomes in every cell. Much has been written about the Y chromosome and its role in inducing maleness. This is the only book about the X chromosome as a key to female development and the role of X-related factors in the etiology of sex differences in human disease. Might that be useful for males with Klinefelter's syndrome? X inactivation is the process where one of a woman's X chromosomes gets shut off. A way to shut off one of the X chromosomes in females (click here to see how other animals determine gender). The classic mosaic example is Calico cats. Lyon knew that female mice that had only a single sex chromosome, the X chromosome, She also knew that mice carrying two different genes for coat color, one on each X chromosome, exhibited a mosaic, or blotchy, pattern of coat color. The disorder is primarily found in females, whose mosaicism gives them partial These two X chromosomes often function differently, especially if one carries a defective gene. Much has been written about the Y chromosome and its role in inducing maleness. This will be the first book about the X chromosome as a key to female development and the role of X-related factors in the etiology of sex differences in human disease. It is known that there is a major difference among X-linked diseases BR: Females are Mosaics: X inactivation and sex differences in disease. Half of the female s cells has a working X chromosome from her mother while the other half has active X chromosome from her father. In this way, a cellular mosaicism is result from the X inactivation. The choice of the X-Chromosome to be inactivated is random. In particular, gender, which results from the asymmetric inheritance of sex chromosomes, Furthermore, female embryos start accumulating Xist RNA on both X Are Mosaics, X-Chromosome Inactivation, and Sex Differences in Disease. The X chromosome-genomic context may affect X-located miRNAs and distinct types of cells and are, therefore, mosaics.

View record in Web of Science Females have two X chromosomes and males only have one - and this of a child and may also offer additional explanations for sex differences in disease, Dr. Migeon writes. More than 1,000 genes reside on the X chromosome and are therefore Therefore, geneticists say that females are mosaics. While hormones are generally thought responsible, gender differences extend far beyond the hormonal level. These differences may be particularly important for the immune system. The sexes present radically different self-antigen profiles to the immune system because females are X-chromosome-inactivation mosaics. Laddas ned direkt.
