Summaries for Color Vision Deficiency

About this section
Genetics Home Reference : 25 Color vision deficiency (sometimes called color blindness) represents a group of conditions that affect the perception of color. Red-green color vision defects are the most common form of color vision deficiency. Affected individuals have trouble distinguishing between some shades of red, yellow, and green. Blue-yellow color vision defects (also called tritan defects), which are rarer, cause problems with differentiating shades of blue and green and cause difficulty distinguishing dark blue from black. These two forms of color vision deficiency disrupt color perception but do not affect the sharpness of vision (visual acuity).

MalaCards based summary : Color Vision Deficiency, also known as abnormality of color vision, is related to red-green color blindness and colorblindness, partial, protan series, and has symptoms including photophobia, other specified visual disturbances and visual disturbance. An important gene associated with Color Vision Deficiency is NR2E3 (Nuclear Receptor Subfamily 2 Group E Member 3), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Metabolism of fat-soluble vitamins and Retinoid cycle disease events. The drugs Ranibizumab and Dexlansoprazole have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include testes, eye and liver, and related phenotypes are Decreased shRNA abundance (Z-score < -2) and Decreased shRNA abundance (Z-score < -2)
