An investigation of a hemophilia A female with heterozygous intron 22 inversion and skewed X chromosome inactivation by Xiaoyan Tan, Yi Yang, Xia Wu, Jing Zhu, Teng Wang, Huihui Jiang, Shu Chen, Shifeng Lou

“…X-chromosome inactivation experiments revealed unbalanced inactivation in the proband, leading to the silencing of the healthy X copy. Notably, several novel X-linked gene mutations (SHROOM2, RPGR, VCX3B, GAGE, GCNA, ZNF280C, CT45A, and XK) were identified in the proband compared to her monozygotic twin sister, though their impact on X-chromosome inactivation remains unclear.ConclusionOur findings suggest that the proband’s bleeding phenotype results from unbalanced X-chromosome inactivation. …”
