Does x-inactivation happen in klinefelters syndrome?
X-inactivation typically occurs in individuals with Klinefelter syndrome, which is characterized by having an extra X chromosome (XXY). However, the extra X chromosome in Klinefelter syndrome may not undergo inactivation completely, leading to some cells expressing genes from the additional X chromosome. This can result in a variety of symptoms and characteristics associated with Klinefelter syndrome.
