Overview
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene which is located on the human X chromosome.
Causes
Genetic Causes
- Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by different mutations in the dystrophin gene which is located on the human X chromosome including:[1][2]
- Single gene defect
- 1/3 New mutation
- 2/3 X-link recessive inheritance
- Xp21.2 region
- Absent dystrophin
