Nope! The disease is equally in both males and females. This means that it is autosomal.
Several genetic disorders are caused by genes on the X chromosomes.
Females are considered to be carriers. This is because females have another X chromosome without the mutation that prevents them from getting this disease. If a woman is a carrier, she has a 50% risk to pass on her X chromosome with the mutation.
ALD (Adrenoleukodystrophy) It's a rare genetic disease that mostly affects males, but the gene for the disease is gained from the mother. Females are simply the carriers of the disease and are usually not affected by it.
No. Carriers are people that carry the gene for something but exhibit no phenotype for it. Since males have no extra copy to hide a recessive trait, they cannot be carriers for sex linked traits.Answ2. Followers of this question should consult say haemophilia in wikipedia.com.
Blacklegged ticks are carriers of lyme disease
DNA testing is the only means of identifying carriers of Canavan disease
Kennedy's Disease is inherited through the X chromosome, and since males only have one X chromosome inherited from their carrier mother, they are usually affected while females are usually carriers
Carriers

Alzheimer's disease affects both females and males.
Such animals are called as carriers. Most dangerous thing is that some dogs are found to be carriers of rabies.
