Various Consequences of the Dosage Compensation by X-inactivation

  • Chapter
Sex Chromosomes and Sex-linked Genes

Part of the book series: Monographs on Endocrinology ((ENDOCRINOLOGY,volume 1 ))

Abstract

The invariably hemizygous expression of the X-linked gene in the mammalian female should result in the visibly mosaic appearance of heterozygous females if the female carries a mutant gene which affects individual melanocytes or epidermal cells.
