" This is definitely something we need to think about regardless of incidents because we know there are different risk factors for men and women, meaning the disease can progress different, and so even if the same number of men and women have the disease, it’s super important to look at sex differences. It’s been helpful to look into other diseases like cardiovascular disease, where women and men show different symptoms and they respond to treatments differently as well. "
