An Integrative Approach to Assess X-Chromosome Inactivation Using Allele-Specific Expression with Applications to Epithelial Ovarian Cancer

X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) epigenetically silences transcription of an X chromosome in females; patterns of XCI are thought to be aberrant in women’s cancers, but are understudied due to statistical challenges. We develop a two-stage statistical framework to assess skewed XCI and evaluate gene-...
