Abstract
In cultured fibroblasts of patients with numerical and structural X chromosome aberrations the activity of steroid sulfatase (STS) is correlated with the number of functional STS gene copies. While normally, this X-linked gene is not inactivated, our data suggest that it may be subject to inactivation when carried on a structurally altered X-chromosome. Similar inactivation patterns have been reported earlier for the Xg locus which, like STS, is located on the distal portion of Xp.Entities:
