The mouse X-chromosome controlling elements, detected by their influence on the position effect variegation caused by the X-autosome translocation T (1; X) Ct, have been found to modify the heterozygous phenotypes of two X-linked genes. It is proposed that X-inactivation can be incomplete, the level of inactivation or the frequency of cells in which inactivation is incomplete being dependent upon the ‘state’ of the controlling element located in the X. The data suggest that this is a consequence of a reversal, or partial reversal, of inactivation of the X as a whole in some cells rather than a vairable spread of inactivation along the length of the X.
