Disease manifestations and X inactivation in heterozygous females with Fabry disease

Abstract

In this study we provide evidence that heterozygous females with Fabry disease show random X inactivation. Our data do not support the hypothesis that the occurrence and severity of disease manifestations in the majority of Fabry heterozygotes are related to skewed X inactivation.
