Glaucoma is associated with mutations in several different genes: MYOC, ASB10, WDR36, NTF4, TBK1, OPA1 and OPTN. But most cases of glaucoma do not involve any genetic mutations.

Will a point mutation cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?
Yes, a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incompelete polypeptide chain that is non-functional, if the mutation results in a stop codon. This type of a mutation is also called as the Nonsense Mutation.
What type of disease is when one cell mutates?
it's normal for cells to mutate. Mutation is what made evolution possible. Of course you should not get enough mutation to get cancer. Mutation can also cause disease and cancer, so it can also be a bad thing.
Is achondroplasia caused by a mutation?
Yes, it is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation. One copy of the mutation will cause the condition.
What is an example of what a mutation can cause?
Mutations can cause diseases such as cancer
Mutation that involves a single nucleotide is called?
Point Mutation is the mutation that involves a single or few nucleotide. This type of mutation replaces a single nucleotide to another.
Will a point mutation cause the cell to make an incomplete polypeptide if the mutation results in a stop codon?
Yes, a point mutation will cause the cell to make an incompelete polypeptide chain that is non-functional, if the mutation results in a stop codon. This type of a mutation is also called as the Nonsense Mutation.
What type of mutation causes autism?
The mutation that causes Autism is a rare genetic mutation. There are three different genes that are linked to the cause of different disorders on the Autism Spectrum.
What type of mutation cause cell anemia?
Mutations in the hemoglobin molecules cause sickle cell anemia.
What is the type of mutation that causes hemophilia?
There is no single type of mutation that causes Hemophilia A. It is not the type of mutation but rather the location of the mutation within the genetic code.
What type of mutation is albinism?
It is a mutation/
Can glaucoma cause Optic atrophy?
Yes
Is glaucoma infectious?
Glaucoma itself is not infectious but sometimes glaucoma can be caused by a complicated ocular infections like keratitis that is caused by herpes virus. Complicated herpes virus infection can cause glaucoma.
Is translocation a type of mutation?
chromosomal mutation
What is the difference between glaucoma and cataracts symptoms?
Although glaucoma and cataracts are both eye conditions that can cause loss of eyesight there are a few differences between them. Cataracts cause a painless loss of transparency overtime, while glaucoma can cause vision loss either slowly or quickly but with pain.
What type of point mutation is dwarfism?
One type of dwarfism that is a point mutation is achondroplasia.
What type of disease is when one cell mutates?
it's normal for cells to mutate. Mutation is what made evolution possible. Of course you should not get enough mutation to get cancer. Mutation can also cause disease and cancer, so it can also be a bad thing.
How long does a person who has glaucoma live?
Untreated glaucoma can cause blindness, but it's not itself directly fatal. Someone with glaucoma will live, on average, about as long as they would have if they'd gone blind from some other cause.
