[Color discrimination in heterozygotes]. 1976

P Cernea, and F Constantin

By the help of Rabkin polychromatics tables and of the AN-59 anomaloscope it is studied the chromatic eye sight at 33 heterozygots. The used tests have permitted the identification of the different types of heterozygots: heterozygots which transmit and manifest only one chromatic anomaly, double heterozygots which manifest clinical one or both anomalies and unmanifested clinical heterozygots. The study of the chromatic eyesight at men from the same family has confirmed the clinical diagnosis of the heterozygots type in every case.

D003117	Color Vision Defects	Defects of color vision are mainly hereditary traits but can be secondary to acquired or developmental abnormalities in the CONES (RETINA). Severity of hereditary defects of color vision depends on the degree of mutation of the ROD OPSINS genes (on X CHROMOSOME and CHROMOSOME 3) that code the photopigments for red, green and blue.

D003118	Color Perception	Mental processing of chromatic signals (COLOR VISION) from the eye by the VISUAL CORTEX where they are converted into symbolic representations. Color perception involves numerous neurons, and is influenced not only by the distribution of wavelengths from the viewed object, but also by its background color and brightness contrast at its boundary.
