Text

Gender identity is usually inferred from X chromosome heterozygosity, but we find that this variable alone gives ambiguous results, because of sex chromosome aneuploidies and genotyping artifact. Therefore, we also use plots of the mean intensities of the X and Y chromosomes, as shown in Figure 1 for the Addiction and T2D NHS projects.
