DNA methylation signature in peripheral blood reveals distinct characteristics of human X chromosome numerical aberrations by El Maarri, Osman

“…The X inactivation process appears to be less effective in Klinefelter syndrome as methylation on the X was decreased compared to normal female samples. In a large number of individuals, we verified several loci by pyrosequencing and observed only weak inter-loci correlations between the verified regions. …”
