| abstractText | X-linked genes are conserved among all mammalian species, but the organization of genes on the X chromosome varies from one species to another. This review summarizes the evidence for established gene homologies between mice and human beings. It also describes genes that are possible homologies because of their locations in the human and murine X chromosomes and similarities in the phenotypes they produce. Based on current knowledge of homologous gene location, the human and murine X chromosomes appear to contain four highly conserved segments and differ in organization by only three to four simple chromosomal rearrangements. |
