The probability to initiate X chromosome inactivation is determined by the X to autosomal ratio and X chromosome specific allelic properties.
<h4>Background</h4>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 s...
