Escape from X-inactivation in twins exhibits intra- and inter-individual variability across tissues and is heritable
X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) silences one X in female cells to balance sex-differences in X-dosage. A subset of X-linked genes escape XCI, but the extent to which this phenomenon occurs and how it varies across tissues and in a population is as yet unclear. To characterize incidence and variabili...
