X chromosome dosage
How to create equal amount of X chromosome gene products in males and females?
Sex Chromosomes: females XX, males XYGenes on X: females 2 , males 1copy

X LINKED GENEG6PD, glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase,
gene is carried on the X chromosomeThis gene codes for an enzyme that breaks
down sugarFemales produce the same amount of G6PD
enzyme as malesXXY and XXX individuals produce the same
about of G6PD as anyone else
decrease X gene products by half in females
(e.g. humans called X-inactivation)

LYON HYPOTHESIS The Lyon hypothesis
states that during early development, one of the X chromosomes in a female gets turned off and this is maintained in all descendant cells of the clone.

LYON HYPOTHESIS
1961 English geneticist Mary Lyon proposed this hypothesis to describe X inactivation
Consists of :-1. Condensed X chromosome is
genetically inactive
2. X inactivation in humans occurs early in development when embryo consists of about 32 cells. 1 or 2 days following fertilization
![Page 6: Lyon hypothesis-X-inactivation-mosaic formation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022083004/55c7e48cbb61ebd76e8b4777/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
LYON HYPOTHESIS
3. At this stage in each of the 32 cells one of the X chromosomes is randomly inactivated
4. Inactivation is mitotically stable 5. Net effect of this is to equalize
phenotypes in males and females for genes that are carried on the X chromosome

X CHROMOSOME
Only 1 X chromosome is active in any given cell. The other is inactive
In some cells the paternal allele is expressed
In other cells the maternal allele is expressed
In XXX and XXXX females and XXY males only 1 X is activated in any given cell the rest are inactivated
![Page 10: Lyon hypothesis-X-inactivation-mosaic formation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022083004/55c7e48cbb61ebd76e8b4777/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
X CHROMOSOME
XXX embryo survives because it inactivates 2 X chromosomes and has only 1 functioning X chromosome in any given cell
The only chromosome we can inactivate is the X chromosome
![Page 11: Lyon hypothesis-X-inactivation-mosaic formation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022083004/55c7e48cbb61ebd76e8b4777/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
X REACTIVATION IN FEMALES In the female fetus future germ cells undergo
Lyonization along with somatic cells .
Following differentiation of female fetus, the inactivated X chromosomes are reactivated during female gametogenesis
When germ cells develop into oocytes and enter meiosis their inactivated X chromosomes become reactivated so that every egg produced has an activated X chromosome prior to fertilization
![Page 12: Lyon hypothesis-X-inactivation-mosaic formation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022083004/55c7e48cbb61ebd76e8b4777/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
mosaic or mosaicism Mosaic is an ancient Romanian word used to
describe a decoration on a surface made by pressing small pieces of colored glass or stone into a soft material that then hardens to make pictures or patterns .
In genetics, a mosaic or mosaicism denotes the presence of two or more populations of cells with different genotypes in one individual who has developed from a single fertilized egg
![Page 13: Lyon hypothesis-X-inactivation-mosaic formation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022083004/55c7e48cbb61ebd76e8b4777/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
So if we assume that the pieces of colored glass are the stem cells of a female and the final picture that is formed in the end is the complete body ,,, we can notice that each piece of colored glass (( stem cell )) has expressed its own color ( phenotype = differentiated cell ) to form the full picture ( completed human body ) ,,, in other words ; each stem cell has expressed its own genotype & its descendent cells to form a complete human female body .That called mosaic formation .
Female is MOSAIC of cells, each cell is functionally HEMIZYGOUS
![Page 14: Lyon hypothesis-X-inactivation-mosaic formation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022083004/55c7e48cbb61ebd76e8b4777/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
This phenomenon, which can be observed in the coloration of tortoiseshell cats when females are heterozygous for the X-linked gene, in other words ( mosaic is the result of X-inactivation).
For an individual cell the inactivation is therefore skewed and this can give rise to mild symptoms in female 'carriers' of X-linked genetic disorders( in cases of diseases).
![Page 15: Lyon hypothesis-X-inactivation-mosaic formation](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022083004/55c7e48cbb61ebd76e8b4777/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Inactivation occurs on a cellular level, resulting in a mosaic expression, in which patches of cells have an inactive maternal X-chromosome, while other patches have an inactive paternal X-chromosome. For example, a female heterozygous for hemophilia (an X-linked disease) would have about half of her liver cells functioning properly, which is typically enough to ensure normal blood clotting.
Sequences at the X inactivation center (XIC), present on the X chromosome, control the silencing of the X chromosome. The hypothetical blocking factor is predicted to bind to sequences within the XIC

Only occur in heterozygous females ??? Can occur in XrXb but not in XrXr or XbXb
X-linked color blindness disease ???
XcY + XX mosaic formation (one eye is color blindness and other is normal <not possible ) Could it happen in males ???
Coloration of tortoiseshell cats ???
XbXr XbXb XrXr
What about G6PD ????

Autosomal MOSAICISM Is due to a mitotic loss of 1 X
chromosome in a cell early in zygotic development
This produces a combination of both XX and XO cells
The more XO cells an individual has the more severely she will be affected
Some estimates put mosaic Turner females as high as 60% to 80%
