Genome partitioning of genetic variation for complex traits using common SNPs.

Text

complex traits that the amount of genetic variation on the X-chromosome appears consistent with X-chromosome inactivation. However, the evidence is indirect and not overwhelming. Larger samples sizes and the detection of multiple associated loci on the X-chromosome will be necessary to investigate the expression of genes on the X-chromosome that affect the traits studied.
