What chromosome in males is affected by dmd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Define dmd: If you mean by "dmd" duchenne's muscular dystrophy, it is the x-chromosome where the mutation causing that disorder is located. Since males have only 1 x chromosome thay are affected if they have a mutated gene.
