Journal ArticleDOI
Localization of loci for hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and biochemical evidence of nonrandom X chromosome expression from studies of a human X-autosome translocation.
TL;DR: A unique and complex karyotypic rearrangement involving chromosomes X, 3, 7, and 21 is reported, providing biochemical evidence for nonrandom expression of X-linked genes in balanced X-autosome translocations and further evidence for the stability of the inactive X phenotype in hybrid cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Derepression with decreased expression of the G6PD locus on the inactive X chromosome in normal human cells
TL;DR: Studies of a unique clone of skin fibroblasts from a normal 46 XX female reveal that the G6PD locus on the inactive X chromosome has been derepressed, and observations of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase phenotype in these heterozygous cells indicate that the reactivated X produces only half the enzyme subunits as are produced by the active X.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of cloned DNA sequences that hybridize to the human X chromosome.
TL;DR: The two X-specific clones identified here should be useful in investigating the mechanism of X inactivation and in isolating a Barr body.
