An alternate translation initiation site circumvents an amino-terminal DAX1 nonsense mutation leading to a mild form of X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita [PDF]
Mutations in DAX1 [dosage-sensitive sex reversal-adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC) critical region on the X chromosome gene 1; NROB1] cause X-linked AHC, a disease characterized by primary adrenal failure in infancy or childhood and reproductive ...

A genetic basis for a postmeiotic X versus Y chromosome intragenomic conflict in the mouse. [PDF]
Intragenomic conflicts arise when a genetic element favours its own transmission to the detriment of others. Conflicts over sex chromosome transmission are expected to have influenced genome structure, gene regulation, and speciation.

X-linked gene expression levels for each independent sample type.
(A) qRT-PCR analysis of RNA levels for five X-linked genes in DR3#6; LctraIR7 or wild type XX and XY mid-staged pupae. Expression of X- linked gene is higher in DR3#6; LctraIR7 XX than XY pupae for all genes except Lczfh2 (Lcaru, P = 0.008; LcCG1909, P =

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors limit complications in X-linked retinoschisis
PurposeCarbonic anhydrase inhibitors (CAIs) reduce macular schisis in patients with X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS). The purpose of this study was to determine if CAIs reduce the incidence of complications from XLRS, including macular atrophy, retinal ...
