It has been linked to development of ovarian, breast and pulmonary carcinomas. The present study aimed to observe the SXCI frequencies in apparently healthy Chinese females and patients with esophageal carcinoma. DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood cells from 401 Chinese females without a detectable tumor and 143 female patients with esophageal carcinoma. Exon 1 of androgen receptor (<jats:italic>AR<\/jats:italic>) gene was amplified, and the products of different CAG alleles were resolved on denaturing polyacrylamide gels and visualized after silver staining. The corrected ratios (CR) of the products before and after <jats:italic>Hpa<\/jats:italic> II digestion were calculated. As to the healthy females, when CR\u2009\u2265\u20093 was used as a criterion, SXCI was found in two (4.3%) of the 46 neonates, 13 (7.8%) of the 166 younger adults (16\u201350 years) and 37 (25.7%) of the 144 elderly females (51\u201396 years), with the frequency higher in the elderly subjects than in the two former groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). When a more stringent criterion (CR\u2009\u2265\u200910) was used, SXCI was found in one (2.2%), two (1.2%) and 16 (11.1%) of the subjects in the three age groups, respectively, itsfrequency being higher in the elderly than in the younger age groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Occurrence of SXCI was detected in both the patients and controls at similar frequencies. However, the phenomenon, as defined as CR\u2009\u2265\u20093, was more frequent in the patients aging &lt;40 years (35.7%) compared to the corresponding reference group (7.6%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.006). When CR\u2009\u2265\u200910 was adopted, the frequencies were 7.1% and 1.2%, respectively. Their difference did not attain statistical significance (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090. 217). SXCI also occurs in apparently healthy Chinese females, and is associated with age. It may be considered as a predisposing factor for the early development of esophageal carcinoma.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Virtual slides<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The virtual slide(s) for this article can be found here <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"http:\/\/www.diagnosticpathology.diagnomx.eu\/vs\/1542364337927656\" ext-link-type=\"uri\">http:\/\/www.diagnosticpathology.diagnomx.eu\/vs\/1542364337927656<\/jats:ext-link>\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1746-1596-8-55","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,4]],"date-time":"2013-04-04T22:05:43Z","timestamp":1365113143000},"update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Skewed X-chromosome inactivation in patients with esophageal carcinoma"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Gang","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tianbo","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hongjuan","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yanyang","family":"Tu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Li","family":"Gong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qin","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guodong","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"743_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"372","DOI":"10.1038\/190372a0","volume":"190","author":"MF Lyon","year":"1961","unstructured":"Lyon MF: Gene action in the X-chromosome of the mouse [Mus musculus L].
