Autosomal genetic variation is associated with DNA methylation in regions variably escaping X-chromosome inactivation

X-chromosome inactivation (XCI), i.e., the inactivation of one of the female X chromosomes, restores equal expression of X-chromosomal genes between females and males. However, ~10% of genes show variable degrees of escape from XCI between females, although little is known about the causes of variab...
