Skewness of X-chromosome inactivation increases with age and varies across birth cohorts in elderly Danish women

Abstract Mosaicism in blood varies with age, and cross-sectional studies indicate that for women, skewness of X-chromosomal mosaicism increases with age. This pattern could, however, also be due to less X-inactivation in more recent birth cohorts. Skewed X-chromosome inactivation was here measured l...
