Researchers from Radboud university medical center and University of Basel have discovered new genetic causes of inherited ...

The most common types of color blindness, or color vision deficiency, are genetic. However, other types may develop due to injuries, eye diseases, health problems, and side effects of treatment.

Color blindness, or color vision deficiency, is more common in males. This is due to how parents pass down a chromosome associated with the male sex. Red-green color vision deficiency is the most ...

Women can be colorblind, but it’s much less common than in men. Red-green color blindness, the most common type, is inherited through the X chromosome. Since males have only one X, they need just one ...

This work not only identified the genetic cause of RP but also further highlights the role that noncoding genes can have in genetic disorders.

The findings suggest that other unknown factors are influencing sight issues, shattering the traditional Mendelian assumption “one gene, one disease.” This research clears the way for new genetic ...

IOB researchers, in collaboration with a team from Radboud University Medical Center and partners from more than 100 institutions worldwide, identify new genetic cause of inherited blindness. The ...

There are three main types of color vision deficiency: red-green, blue-yellow, and complete. Color blindness, or color vision deficiency, affects the way you perceive color and can make it hard to ...
