Retinoschisis primarily occurs in two forms: Juvenile X-linked retinoschisis, ... Caused by a mutation in the RS1 gene, inherited in an X-linked pattern.- Girls can be asymptomatic carriers.- ...

An X-linked dominant model of disease heritability was established. A missense SNP in the MAGEC3 gene was found, which may explain this pattern of increased cancer risk.

The complex mechanisms that regulate the X chromosome lead to evolutionary and physiological variability in gene expression between species, the sexes, individuals, developmental stages, tissues ...

X-linked genetic variations, such as hemophilia or color blindness, are relatively common, in part because the X chromosome carries many genes -- approximately 1,000, or close to 4 percent of the ...

X-linked genetic variations, such as hemophilia or color blindness, are relatively common, in part because the X chromosome carries many genes—approximately 1,000, or close to 4 percent of the ...

The variability of X inactivation likely helps explain why an X-linked disease’s effects on women who do have symptoms can vary widely. With Duchenne, a girl whose cells skew toward the mutated ...
