The Mbp genomic region displaying high male—female genetic differentiation in the population data is delineated with a gold strip below LG1. The study of SCAs not only overcomes these limitations Figs. Therefore, whether MECP2 is a x-chromosome related risk gene for autism remains further confirmation.
Of particular importance are sex-linked segregation distorters, as these generate strong selection favoring genes that suppress their action.
