Смещение инактивации Х-хромосомы может быть следствием и маркером нарушения клеточной пролиферации при вариациях числа копий ДНК на Х-хромосоме. Х-сцепленные CNV выявляются как у женщин с невынашиванием беременности и смещением инактивации Х-хромосомы (с частотой 33,3%), так и у пациентов с умственной отсталостью и смещением инактивацией у их матерей (с частотой 40%). A skewed X-chromosome inactivation can be a consequence and a marker of impaired cell proliferation in the presence of copy number variations (CNV) on the X chromosome. X-linked CNVs are detected in women with miscarriages and a skewed X-chromosome inactivation (with a frequency of 33.3%), as well as in patients with intellectual disability and skewed X-chromosome inactivation in their mothers (with a frequency of 40%).

X-linked Emery–Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD1) affects approximately 1:100,000 male births. Female carriers are usually asymptomatic but, in some cases, they may present clinical symptoms after age 50 at cardiac level, especially in the form of conduction tissue anomalies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between heart involvement in symptomatic EDMD1 carriers and the X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) pattern. The XCI pattern was determined on the lymphocytes of 30 symptomatic and asymptomatic EDMD1 female carriers—25 familial and 5 sporadic cases—seeking genetic advice using the androgen receptor (AR) methylation-based assay. Carriers were subdivided according to whether they were above or below 50 years of age. A variance analysis was performed to compare the XCI pattern between symptomatic and asymptomatic carriers. The results show that 20% of EDMD1 carriers had cardiac symptoms, and that 50% of these were ≥50 years of age. The XCI pattern was similar in both symptomatic and asymptomatic carriers. Conclusions: Arrhythmias in EDMD1 carriers poorly correlate on lymphocytes to a skewed XCI, probably due to (a) the different embryological origin of cardiac conduction tissue compared to lymphocytes or (b) the preferential loss of atrial cells replaced by fibrous tissue.

AbstractWe observed that maternal meiotic drive favoring the inheritance of DDK alleles at the Om locus on mouse chromosome 11 was correlated with the X chromosome inactivation phenotype of (C57BL/ 6-Pgk1a × DDK)F1 mothers. The basis for this unexpected observation appears to lie in the well-documented effect of recombination on meiotic drive that results from nonrandom segregation of chromosomes. Our analysis of genome-wide levels of meiotic recombination in females that vary in their X-inactivation phenotype indicates that an allelic difference at an X-linked locus is responsible for modulating levels of recombination in oocytes.

Anderson-Fabry disease is an X-linked inborn error of glycosphingolipid catabolism caused by a deficiency of α-galactosidase A. The incidence ranges between 1: 40,000 and 1:117,000 of live male births. In Italy, an estimate of incidence is available only for the north-western Italy, where it is of approximately 1:4000. Clinical symptoms include angiokeratomas, corneal dystrophy, and neurological, cardiac and kidney involvement. The prevalence of symptomatic female carriers is about 70%, and in some cases, they can exhibit a severe phenotype. Previous studies suggest a correlation between skewed X chromosome inactivation and symptoms in carriers of X-linked disease, including Fabry disease. In this review, we briefly summarize the disease, focusing on the clinical symptoms of carriers and analysis of the studies so far published in regards to X chromosome inactivation pattern, and manifesting Fabry carriers. Out of 151 records identified, only five reported the correlation between the analysis of XCI in leukocytes and the related phenotype in Fabry carriers, in particular evaluating the Mainz Severity Score Index or cardiac involvement. The meta-analysis did not show any correlation between MSSI or cardiac involvement and skewed XCI, likely because the analysis of XCI in leukocytes is not useful for predicting the phenotype in Fabry carriers.
