  • Title: Polymorphism of human color vision.
    Author: Piantanida T.
    Journal: Am J Optom Physiol Opt; 1976 Oct; 53(10):647-57. PubMed ID: 1087832.
    Abstract:
    The genetic polymorphism of human color vision is examined within the framework of a photopigment replacement model. An analysis of the X-linked recessive dichromacies and anomalous trichromacies indicates that one source of variability of normal color perception may be the inclusion of several distinct phenotypes in what is usually described as normal color vision. This analysis also reveals the cause of the dominance hierarchy at the protan and deutan loci, the perceptual effects of dosage compensation, and the phenotypes of various compound hemizygotes.
