There are some genetic disease that are linked to the genes of only one gender. This is because the mutation lies within the sex chromosome of a person’s cells in a way that doesn’t allow a disease to appear in both genders. For example, if the genetic mutation for Prostate Cancer is present in a man’s Y chromosome than it is impossible for a woman to have that same mutation and develop Prostate Cancer because women do not have a Y Chromosome. Similarly there are diseases that are caused by a mutation with the XX allele that only woman have such as the mutation for Rett Syndrome. Â These kind of diseases are exclusive to certain genders and it’s impossible for the other to get that disease. There are also gender-influenced traits that people have such as baldness. Both men and woman can go bald but it is far more common in men to see the thinning of hair and eventual baldness. This is due to an autosomal trait that varies in either frequency or degree between the two genders which with cause it so be more common and prominent in men rather than women.
