color blindness
Occasionally, changes can occur in the affected person's capacity to see colors after age 60.
Color blindness is a genetic condition that can occur in both boys and girls. It is typically inherited from a person's parents, with certain genes responsible for color vision being passed down. In some cases, color blindness can also result from damage to the eye or optic nerve.
Individuals with color blindness often have a normal male karyotype (46,XY) or female karyotype (46,XX). The genetic basis for color blindness typically involves mutations in genes located on the X chromosome, leading to different types of color vision deficiencies.
Color blindness is primarily caused by genetic mutations affecting the photopigments in the cone cells of the retina, which are responsible for color perception. Most commonly, these mutations occur on the X chromosome, making color blindness more prevalent in males, who have only one X chromosome. The most common forms include red-green color blindness, which results from mutations in the genes that encode photopigments sensitive to red and green light. Other types, like blue-yellow color blindness, involve different genetic factors but are less common.
It is not true that color blindness is most common in females. Color blindness is most common in males and approximately 8 percent of men have it.
The cause of color blindness is X-linked factors.
Color blindness is hereditary and non-communicable.
Colour (color) blindness is genetic and is not curable.-- The question asks whether red-green color blindness is treatable, not curable.
