X Chromosome Inactivation in Opioid Addicted Women
Introduction: X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a process during which one of the two X chromosomes in female human is silenced leading to equal gene expression with males who have only one X chromosome. Here we have investigated XCI ratio in females with opioid addiction to see whether XCI skewness in women could be a risk factor for opioid addiction. Methods: 30 adult females meeting DS...
متن کاملX-chromosome inactivation
It is a well-known fact of popular science that nearly all tortoiseshell cats are female. Underlying this is X-chromosome inactivation, a phenomenon found in all mammals. In the sex-determining system of mammals — in which females carry two X chromosomes and males an X and a Y chromosome — the X chromosome is typically large and carries many genes unconnected with sex, whereas the Y chromosome ...
متن کاملX-chromosome inactivation and autoimmunity
We thank Dr Ozcelik for his careful reading of our review and his thoughtful letter. Dr Ozcelik raises the issue of nonequivalence of monosomy X frequency and X-chromosome inactivation pattern (XCIP). The first refers to the proportion of cells with a single X chromosome, wherein transcription occurs from the lone X chromosome. The second refers to the ratio of inactivated maternal to paternal ...
