How was the identification of nDNA mutations that cause mitochondrial myopathies first made?
GaleEncyofNeuroDis
first made when a nuclear gene involved in mtDNA replication was found to be defective in a disorder involving a patient with a mitochondrial myopathy

Mutations in mitochondrial genes often cause disorders that affect cells?
the mitochondrial mutations effect to those cells which have maternal inherritance character and the mutation is called poky mutation
What are some congenital conditions classed as congenital myopathies?
Congenital myopathies are a group of myopathies, usually present from birth, that display structural changes in the skeletal muscles. The list of diseases defined as congenital myopathies varies.
What can cause changes in DNA sequences?
mutations
How do mutations relate to traits?
Mutations cause certain traits.
Underlying cause of the cellular effects of aging?
The underlying cause of cellular effects of aging is believed to be multifactorial, involving a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Key factors include DNA damage, telomere shortening, mitochondrial dysfunction, cellular senescence, and inflammation. These processes contribute to cellular and tissue dysfunction over time, leading to the overall aging of the organism.
What types of external stimuli cause mutations?
While this question should be recategorized because external stimuli do not cause the mutations that result in hemophilia, there are many types of radiation that can cause gene mutations as well as chemical exposure. For example sun light is UV light radiation wich can cause mutations (for example the mutations that result in skin cancer).
What are some things that can cause those mutations that cause cancer?
Many herbicides and pesticides hit the nuclear material and cause mutations when used to protect crop plants. Apart from causing mutations these very chemicals are carcinogenic in nature and cause cancer.
What is an example of what a mutation can cause?
Mutations can cause diseases such as cancer
How do mutations cause genetic disorder?
it cause every cell
What are cancer mutations?
Some mutations cause cells to lose control over cell division
Why dont all mutations cause cancer?
Mutations in the DNA can cause cancer, but it's not the only cause of cancer. Did you know you can get cancer if you are exposed to coals and tars too long?
What is something in the environment that may cause mutations?
you!
