Hemochromatosis is not a sex-linked trait; instead, it is primarily an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. It is most commonly associated with mutations in the HFE gene, which can be inherited from both parents regardless of sex. While men are often more severely affected due to higher iron absorption, the condition itself is not limited to one sex.
