has been previously reported in 9p deletion and duplication syndromes.A possible explanation for the significant bias in the 9p Network Cohort dataset is the XY sex reversal phenotype, which is commonly observed in individuals with 9p deletion syndrome.This phenotype could lead to individuals with XY sex chromosomes being listed in the dataset as having a female gender.To further examine this hypothesis, we subset our dataset to include only the 236 individuals whose sex chromosomes are listed in their genetic information.For this much smaller subset, 125 individuals had female sex chromosomes and 111 had male sex chromosomes, indicating no significant sex bias (Binomial test p ¼ 0.4).We also found no significant gender bias in this group (Binomial test p ¼ 0.2), although we did

case, a dominant, X-linked gene that is favorable to females but disadvantageous for males can become fixed.The slow accumulation of female-biased genes in the X reflects an overall low rate of female gene origination, either due to a small dominance effect (the degree of dominance h!1/2), or a minor disadvantageous effect on males (the ratio of fitness effects of male relative to female k!0) along

genes are often male-biased.Specifically, a significant excess of autosomal testisexpressed retrogenes were identified as RNA-duplicates of X-linked parental genes (Betran et al. 2002).Recently, similar X!A gene traffic was observed in the DNA-level duplication and relocation data set of the Drosophila genus (Vibranovski et al. 2009b), and was further confirmed for DNA-level duplications in the D. pseudoobscura neo-X chromosome (Meisel et al. 2009).In addition, selective extinction of neo-X linked male-biased genes also occurred in D. pseudoobscura (Sturgill et al. 2007).These three
