Abstract
The differential methylation of a CpG island 2.5 kb distant from a hypervariable region at the DXS255 locus provides the basis for a Southern blotting X chromosome inactivation analysis system. The technique enables carrier detection in about 90% of females at risk from pedigrees with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency or X-linked agammaglobulinemia.
