Defects of
color vision
are mainly hereditary traits but can be secondary to acquired or developmental abnormalities in the CONES (
RETINA
). Severity of hereditary defects of
color vision
depends on the degree of
mutation
of the
ROD OPSINS
genes (on
X CHROMOSOME
and
CHROMOSOME 3
) that code the photopigments for red, green and blue.
