The DMD gene — responsible for production of dystrophin — is located on the X chromosome, one of the two sex chromosomes in humans. Females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y chromosome. Including these sex chromosomes (which determine our biological sex), humans have two copies of 23 distinct chromosomes — long strands of DNA...
Several different types of mutations of the DMD gene can cause Duchenne, including deletions or duplications of long stretches of nucleotides, the basic units of DNA, represented by the letters A, G, C, and T; point mutations, in which a single nucleotide is switched with another nucleotide; and so-called frameshift mutations. In a frameshift mutat...
