It's taken me a while to get around to answering this...
...But it turns out I'm actually correct in my assumptions. (!!)

So it's simple enough to say that carriers of any of the two out of the three alleles that cause even or greater numbers of Y-chromosomes to be generated were killed off by said curse.
It would only be the men, though, as this gene is carried only on the Y-chromosome, and not the X. So a minor adjustment will be needed, but nothing that will drastically change the setting I've established thus far.

A New York Times Article Wrote:Mr. Gellatly found evidence that men carry a gene that determines the percentage of X and Y chromosomes in their sperm, and that the gene comes in three alleles, or versions. One produces mostly X chromosomes, another mostly Y, and the third yields equal numbers of both.
