The mechanism of X-inactivation in man is thought to involve a specific cis-acting locus within the X-inactivation centre at Xq13 (1,2). The XIST gene (X inactive specific transcript) at Xq13 is ubiquitously expressed only from the inactive X and as such may be involved in or influenced by the X-inactivation process (3,4). We have localised the breakpoints on two acquired isodicentric X chromosomes associated with leukaemia to a 450 kilobase region of DNA within Xq13, which result in deletion of the XIST gene. We have demonstrated that these chromosomes remain inactive and that there is no evidence of XIST expression from the remaining intact X chromosomes. The data suggest that XIST is not required for the maintenance of X-inactivation on these somatically rearranged X chromosomes.

D004303 Dosage Compensation, Genetic Genetic mechanisms that allow GENES to be expressed at a similar level irrespective of their GENE DOSAGE. This term is usually used in discussing genes that lie on the SEX CHROMOSOMES. Because the sex chromosomes are only partially homologous, there is a different copy number, i.e., dosage, of these genes in males vs. females. In DROSOPHILA, dosage compensation is accomplished by hypertranscription of genes located on the X CHROMOSOME. In mammals, dosage compensation of X chromosome genes is accomplished by random X CHROMOSOME INACTIVATION of one of the two X chromosomes in the female.
