Less frequent symptoms include vomiting and belching. Sometimes people with indigestion also experience heartburn, but heartburn and indigestion are two separate conditions. Heartburn is a pain or burning feeling in the center of your chest that may radiate into your neck or back during or after eating.
Because the Duchenne gene is found on the X-chromosome, it primarily affects boys; however, it occurs across all races and cultures. Duchenne results in progressive loss of strength and is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes for dystrophin.Because dystrophin is absent, the muscle cells are easily damaged.ecause the Duchenne gene is found on the X-chromosome, it primarily affects boys; however, it occurs across all races and cultures.

Mutations in the human dystrophin gene cause the Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies. The Dystrophin protein provides a structural link between the muscle cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix to maintain muscle integrity.hese results indicate that the postsynaptically localized scaffolding protein Dystrophin is required for appropriate control of neuromuscular synaptic homeostasis (van der Plas, 2006). Duchenne (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy are caused by mutations in the dystrophin (dys) gene.
