Is your claim simply that XX folks have twice as many X genes as XY folks? It doesn’t take anything from the article or what I said to understand that. That’s tautological.
The article is about the mechanism explaining why women have more autoimmune diseases than men. Nothing in the article implicates the number of genes themselves in the mechanism. Theybstayes that the gene that deactivates one of the X chromosomes has side effects. They do not describe the details of that. Maybe ultimately there is some reason the pair of X chromosomes is itself involved, but nothing in the study indicates that, and what they describe doesn’t necessarily involve that as part of the mechanism.

Nope. That’s not my claim.
The article seems to imply that women have more chances of autoimmune diseases because they have more genes that could be affected by the side effects of that molecule. Did I get it wrong?
And again, don’t take me too seriously, but I am curious now.
