6 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The genetics underlying inherited color vision deficiencies is well understood: causative mutations change the copy number or sequence of the long (L), middle (M), or short (S) wavelength sensitive cone opsin genes. This study evaluated the potential of opsin gene analyses for use in clinical diagnosis of color vision defects. METHODS: We tested 1872 human subjects using direct sequencing of opsin genes...
