Females heterozygous for the T(1; X)CtX-autosome translocation tend to have lower levels of c-variegation when their rearranged X is inherited from the father rather than from the mother. The difference is not due to a maternal effect. It is postulated that a paternal or parental-source effect, such as that found to modify position effect variegation in Drosophila, is operating but the possibility that a bias in the inactivation of the maternal and paternal X chromosomes is responsible cannot be ruled out.
