Yes, Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the dystrophin gene. It is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner, meaning it primarily affects males and can be passed down from carrier females.
Parents who carry a recessive disorder gene have a 25% chance of passing the disorder to their children. They may not necessarily suffer from the disorder themselves, as carriers typically do not show symptoms. However, they can still transmit the gene to their offspring, who may then inherit the disorder.
