X chromosome inactivation center (Xic) pairing occurs during the differentiation of embryonic stem (ES) cells from female mouse embryos, and is related to X chromosome inactivation, the circadian clock, intra-nucleus architecture, and metabolism. However,

Monosomy for the X chromosome [PDF]
Dosage compensation serves to equalize X chromosome gene expression in mammalian males and females and involves extensive silencing of the 2nd X chromosome in females. If dosage compensation mechanisms completely suppressed the 2nd X chromosome, then actual physical loss of this "eXtra" chromosome should have few consequences.

Mouse sex chromosomes are enriched for co-amplified gene families, present in tens to hundreds of copies. Co-amplification of Slx/Slxl1 on the X chromosome and Sly on the Y chromosome are involved in dose-dependent meiotic drive, however the role of ...

Association of Parental Origin with Clinical Profile in Klinefelter Syndrome [PDF]
Introduction: Several genomic imprinting mechanisms have been postulated to report the parent-of-origin in Klinefelter syndrome. It was stated in the literature, parental origin has an effect on behavioral phenotype of Klinefelter individuals, but the

X-Chromosome Inactivation [PDF]
In female mammals, all X chromosomes except one are transcriptionally inactivated early in embryonic development. This is known as X-chromosome inactivation and is a form of dosage compensation, giving equal dosage of the products of X-linked genes in males and females. The mechanism is of considerable interest as an example of differential behavior of

Enhanced chromatin accessibility contributes to X chromosome dosage compensation in mammals
Background Precise gene dosage of the X chromosomes is critical for normal development and cellular function. In mice, XX female somatic cells show transcriptional X chromosome upregulation of their single active X chromosome, while the other X ...

Female chromosome X mosaicism is age-related and preferentially affects the inactivated X chromosome
It is unclear how often genetic mosaicism of chromosome X arises. Here, the authors examine women with cancer and cancer-free controls and show that X chromosome mosaicism occurs more frequently than on autosomes, especially on the inactive X chromosome,

X chromosome inactivation during Drosophila spermatogenesis. [PDF]
Genes with male- and testis-enriched expression are under-represented on the Drosophila melanogaster X chromosome. There is also an excess of retrotransposed genes, many of which are expressed in testis, that have "escaped" the X chromosome and moved to ...

Detectable chromosome X mosaicism in males is rarely tolerated in peripheral leukocytes
Age-related male Y and female X chromosome mosaicism is commonly observed in large population-based studies. To investigate the frequency of male X chromosome mosaicism, we scanned for deviations in chromosome X genotyping array intensity data in a ...
