Patterns of X chromosome inactivation in haematopoietic cells of female carriers of X linked severe combined immunodeficiency.
We evaluated the use of methylation analysis at the DXS255 locus as a method for carrier detection in X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID). We also investigated the variations of X inactivation patterns in several haematopoietic cell lineages of XSCID carriers, both within and between XSCID pedigrees.
