Methylation status of genes escaping from X-chromosome inactivation in patients with X-chromosome rearrangements

BACKGROUND: X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a mechanism in which one of two X chromosomes in females is randomly inactivated in order to compensate for imbalance of gene dosage between sexes. However, about 15% of genes on the inactivated X chromosome (Xi) escape from XCI. The methylation level o...
