Genetics of variation in human color vision and the retinal cone mosaic.

Current opinion in genetics & development - 1 Jun 2006

Deeb Samir S

Abstract excerpt

Variation in human color vision is mainly caused by one common polymorphism (Ser180Ala) in the L pigment, and to the frequent presence of hybrid genes that encode pigments with various spectral properties. Both recombination and gene conversion between the highly homologous L and M pigment genes have generated wide variation in genotype and color vision phenotype. The S, M and L cones are distributed randomly in...
