The Molecular Genetic Basis of Polymorphism in Normal Color Vision

Abstract

People with normal color vision don't all have the same complement of cone pigments. Individual differences in the spectral sensitivities of cone pigments have been studied extensively through the examination of color matches (e.g. Neitz and Jacobs, 1986, 1990; He and Shevell, 1990; Webster and MacLeod, 1988). However, the exact nature of the cone pigment differences among color normals, and their cause, is still poorly understood.
