Nope! The disease is equally in both males and females. This means that it is autosomal.
Genes are located on chromosomes, which are found in the nucleus of a cell. Each gene carries instructions for a specific function or trait, such as eye color or height. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, with one set inherited from each parent.
Chromosomes do not have a sex/gender but determine it. In humans, females have two X chromosomes (XX) and males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY).

When a trait is located on the X chromosome, it is referred to as an X-linked trait. This means the trait is inherited through the X chromosome and can show different patterns of inheritance compared to traits on autosomes. Examples of X-linked traits include red-green color blindness and hemophilia.
Chromosomes that look alike and carry genes for the same trait are called homologous chromosomes. The nucleus contains these chromosomes.
