Summary Introduction
Introduction: Colorblindness (red-green colorblindness) is color vision deficiency, and colorblind individuals have different color perception. They have difficulty in seeing red, blue, green, or a combination of these colors. Gene expression in human body is required to form photopigments. The defects in these genes can cause colorblindness. It is a recessive X-linked condition.
