Best Answer

Not in the scientific sence as the genes are not located on the sex chromosomes. It can rarley be caused by genes from the father mutating as the equivolent genes from the mother are almost silent due to gene imprinting. So in a more general sence it may be associated with the gender of the parent from whom deleted gene copys were recieved.
