So I just wanna make sure is it right or not...

The best answer is probably that it occurs more in males than in females. This will be true of almost any sex linked disease. If the mutant gene is on the X chromosome and the trait is recessive, then females can have one bad copy and one good one. They will then be unaffected carriers of the disease. Any male offspring who inherit the bad copy will have the disease because they only have one X. There are diseases that are X linked dominant, which would be inherited by both sexes equally, but they are very rare. Y linked disorders would exclusively affect men.
