Scope note: Defectos de la visión de los colores que son, principalmente, rasgos hereditarios, aunque también pueden ser secundarios a anomalías adquiridas o del desarrollo de los CONOS (RETINA). La gravedad de los defectos hereditarios de la visión cromática depende del grado de mutación de los genes de las OPSINAS DE LOS CONOS (del CROMOSOMA X y el CROMOSOMA 3), que codifican los fotopigmentos para el rojo, el verde y el azul.

Scope note: 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.
