X-inactivation patterns were studied by replication analyses both in lymphocytes and skin fibroblasts of 2 patients carrying balanced X-autosome translocations, t(X;10)(pter;q11) and t(X;17)(q11;q11), and 1 patient with an unbalanced translocation t(X;22)(p21;q11). Preferential late replication of the normal X chromosome was found in lymphocytes of both patients carrying balanced translocations and in skin fibroblasts of the patient carrying the translocation t(X;17). Skin fibroblasts of the patient with a translocation t(X;10) showed preferential late replication of the abnormal der(X) chromosome with no spreading of late replication to the autosomal segment. In the case of unbalanced translocation t(X;22) there was preferential late replication of the der(X) chromosome both in lymphocytes and skin fibroblasts. The abnormal phenotype of the patients is discussed in relation to the observed X-inactivation patterns and the variability of the patterns in different tissues.
