Answer:

Males are more likely to have hypophosphatemia.

Step-by-step explanation:

In females, a mutation would have to happen in both copies of the genes to cause the disorder. It is rare having females with 2 altered copies of this gene. Males are X-linked by recessive disorders much more frequently then females.
