A member asked:
Is lou gehrigs disease sex linked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Most of it is sporadic. I do not know any variants of lou gehrig's that travel on the x-chromosome. This is in contrast with duchenne's / becker's muscular dystrophy, a weakness syndrome on the x chromosome that might be mistaken for lou gehrig's by a very inept physician. Lou gehrig's is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It is also unrelated to sexual activity.
