Evidence for preferential X-chromosome inactivation in a family with Fabry disease. 1977

H H Ropers, and T F Wienker, and T Grimm, and K Schroetter, and K Bender

Severe clinical signs of Fabry disease were observed in four of eight heterozygous daughters of a male patient. Activities of alpha-galactosidase A in serum, white blood cells, and hair roots of the manifesting carriers were markedly lower than 50% of normal. These findings are not easy to interpret in terms of random X inactivation alone; several alternative models including nonrandom (preferential) X inactivation are discussed.

D003118 Color Perception Mental processing of chromatic signals (COLOR VISION) from the eye by the VISUAL CORTEX where they are converted into symbolic representations. Color perception involves numerous neurons, and is influenced not only by the distribution of wavelengths from the viewed object, but also by its background color and brightness contrast at its boundary.
