BLUE CONE MONOCHROMATISM

Alternate names

BLUE CONE MONOCHROMATISM Is also known as s cone monochromatism, x-linked incomplete achromatopsia, blue cone monochromatism, color blindness, blue monocone monochromatic type, blue cone monochromacy, colorblindness, blue-mono-cone-monochromatic type, cbbm, s cone monochromacy, atypical x-linked achromat

Description

Blue cone monochromatism (BCM) is a recessive X-linked disease characterized by severely impaired color discrimination, low visual acuity, nystagmus, and photophobia, due to dysfunction of the red (L) and green (M) cone photoreceptors. BCM is as an incomplete form of achromatopsia (see this term).

Most common symptoms of BLUE CONE MONOCHROMATISM

  • Nystagmus
  • Visual impairment
  • Myopia
  • Reduced visual acuity
  • Photophobia

CONE ROD DYSTROPHY Is also known as human retinal gene 4, hrg4

Description

Cone rod dystrophies (CRDs) are inherited retinal dystrophies that belong to the group of pigmentary retinopathies.

Most common symptoms of CONE ROD DYSTROPHY

  • Visual impairment
  • Photophobia
  • Nyctalopia
  • Retinal degeneration
  • Abnormality of retinal pigmentation

COLORBLINDNESS, PARTIAL, PROTAN SERIES; CBP

Alternate names

COLORBLINDNESS, PARTIAL, PROTAN SERIES; CBP Is also known as red colorblindness, protanopia

Description

Normal color vision in humans is trichromatic, being based on 3 classes of cone that are maximally sensitive to light at approximately 420 nm (blue cones; {613522}), 530 nm (green cones; {300821}), and 560 nm (red cones; {300822}). Comparison by neural circuits of light absorption by the 3 classes of cone photoreceptors allows perception of red, yellow, green, and blue colors individually or in various combinations. Dichromatic color vision is severely defective color vision based on the use of only 2 types of photoreceptors, blue plus green (protanopia) or blue plus red (deuteranopia; see {303800}). Anomalous trichromacy is trichromatic color vision based on a blue, green, and an anomalous red-like photoreceptor (protanomaly), or a blue, red, and an anomalous green-like photoreceptor (deuteranomaly). The color vision defect is generally mild but may in certain cases be severe. Common variation in red-green color vision exists among both normal and color-deficient individuals (review by Deeb, 2005).

Most common symptoms of COLORBLINDNESS, PARTIAL, PROTAN SERIES; CBP

  • Abnormality of color vision
  • Protanopia
  • Protanomaly
  • Deuteranomaly
  • Deuteranopia
