New aspects of an old theme: the genetic basis of human color vision
Article Abstract:
The genetic basis of human color vision as revealed in recent studies is discussed with information about finding mutations in the gene encoding a cGMP-gated cation channel, identification that resolved the molecular basis of complete color blindness. Significant analogies among some quite different sensory signal transduction systems have been seen.
