Summary of the X chromosome inactivation tests performed on RTT mothers and their daughters (for the four familial cases without MECP2 mutation reported in this study), CEPH controls, sporadic cases of RTT, and ATR-X carrier females. Females were scored as “skewed” when the ratio of XCI was above 95:5
