German term or phrase: Frauenwendigkeit
Viele Befunde sprechen eher für eine autoinflammatorische als für eine Autoimmunerkrankung, da Hypergammaglobulinämie und Frauenwendigkeit fehlen.

Very few Google hits. Am I correct in presuming that this translates to: likelihood to occur in women?

female preponderance
Explanation:
you are sort of right, but it is more about a high ratio of women:men

see, e.g.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7848615 "Female preponderance for lisinopril-induced cough in hypertension."
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12411732 "Female preponderance of Parkinson's disease in Japan."
http://dgrh-kongress.de/fileadmin/media/kongress/2011/201108... "ANA positivity characterized a homogenous group of patients with early-onset of disease (5.1 versus 7.9
years), female preponderance (76.7 versus 57.7 %) "

female predominance


Explanation:
Many of the findings speak for an autoinflammatory rather than an autoimmune disease since both hypergammaglobulinemia and a female predominance are lacking.

one could also use "prevalence in the female population"
