The Probability to Initiate X Chromosome Inactivation Is Determined by the X to Autosomal Ratio and X Chromosome Specific Allelic Properties

BACKGROUND: In female mammalian cells, random X chromosome inactivation (XCI) equalizes the dosage of X-encoded gene products to that in male cells. XCI is a stochastic process, in which each X chromosome has a probability to be inactivated. To obtain more insight in the factors setting up this prob...
