Although absolute variability in postnatal ossification timing is generally larger in boys than in girls, relative, conception‐corrected variability is significantly larger in girls, suggestive of a “dosage” effect and consistent with the hypothesis of partial X‐linkage. These findings, together with the excess of sister‐sister over brother‐brother timing similarities are inconsistent with the hypothesis of selective inactivation of either the paternal or the maternal X chromosome
