Talk:X chromosome

message: Interesting things about the x chromosome:
*X-linked disorders, dosage compensation, genes on X associated with genetic disorders 
*X-inactivation in human females and the gene XIST, Barr body
*X chromosome sequencing

message: Is there somebody knowledgeable about the following? 
Different sources (e.g. Prof. Hameister in Ulm) state that a larger part of the inherited intelligence is carried by genes on the X chromosome and add that this was the reason for different variances in IQ between the sexes - there are more men who have very high and very low IQs compared to women.

message: Triple X syndrome (also called 47,XXX or trisomy X):
This syndrome results from an extra copy of the X chromosome in each of a female's cells. Females with trisomy X have three X chromosomes, for a total of 47 chromosomes per cell. The average IQ of females with this syndrome is 90, while the average IQ of their normal siblings is 100 [1]. Their stature on average is taller than normal females. They are fertile and their children do not inherit the condition. [2]

message: Is there any tendency or systematic about the kinds of genes that tend to end up on X (rather than one of the autosomes) in mammals? Please add. -- 92.231.117.237 (talk) 17:48, 29 July 2012 (UTC)

message: I was curious about how the genes listed on this page were chosen and what the purpose of the list is. Given that zygotes without an X chromosome are nonviable and X-linked disorders are common, I would have expected to see a list that highlights some genes that are essential for life and help explain why the X chromosome is essential, or some genes that have known relevance to X-linked disease. The list instead appears to be comprised chiefly of genes that are not well-characterized. I'm not trying to argue that the genes listed are not important, but given the state of things now I would argue that the list is not particularly helpful to someone trying to learn about the X chromosome.
