Trisomy silencing by XIST normalizes Down syndrome cell pathogenesis demonstrated for hematopoietic defects in vitro

Individuals with Down Syndrome have hematopoietic abnormalities including high risk of leukaemia. Here the authors show that transcriptional silencing of one chromosome 21 by XIST effectively corrects cell function and development to prevent excessive production of megakaryocytes and erythroids, sho...
