Heterozygous Deletion of the SHOX Gene Enhancer in two Females With Clinical Heterogeneity Associating With Skewed XCI and Escaping XCI

Skewed X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) plays an important role in the phenotypic heterogeneity of X-linked disorders. However, the role of skewed XCI in XCI-escaping gene SHOX regulation is unclear. Here, we focused on a heterozygous deletion of SHOX gene enhancer with clinical heterogeneity. Using...
