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.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation of the dystrophin gene at locus Xp21. Dystrophin is responsible for the connection of muscle fibers to the extracellular matrix through a protein complex containing many subunits.ncidence/prevalence Edit. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is caused by mutations in the DMD gene, which is located on the X chromosome. Due to this, DMD has an incidence of 1 in 3,500 newborn males. Mutations within the DMD gene can either be inherited or occur spontaneously during germline transmission.
