Epigenetics

mosaic silencing of a gene placed next to heterochromatin, where silencing spreads into the gene in some cells and not others.

In epigenetics, position effect variegation refers to mosaic silencing of a gene placed next to heterochromatin, where silencing spreads into the gene in some cells and not others. This meaning comes from Elgin (2013) in Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology.[1]
