DISCOVERY• John Dalton, an English chemist, was the first to report the disorder .
• First general condition of color blindness was called Daltonism
• Dalton believed that a colored liquid inside the eyeball.
• Scientists dissected his eye.
• proved wrong after his death.

NEW THEORY• Thomas Young and Hermann von Helmholtz were the first to
propose trichromatic color vision.
• By 1850 Thomas and Hermann expanded the theory further.
• The theory wasn’t proven until 1958.
• By 1983 the theory was complete.
Thomas Young Herman Van Helmholtz

ETIOLOGY• 8% European decent
• 4% African American decent
• .4% of women.
• X-linked recessive inheritance trait
• Effects of color blindness can vary from mild to severe depending upon the defected gene.
• Red-Green colorblindness accounts for 6% of men with the disorder

SYMPTOMS• May be able to see some colors but not others.
• Harder to detect than one might think, particularly in children.
• A colorblind person may only be able to see a few shades of color, whereas others can see thousands of shades of color.
Red-Green ColorblindNormal Color

COLORBLIND TESTS• Most popular is Ishihara Plate test.
• 38 images of random colored circles.
• Originally made for Japanese Army.
• Farnsworth Lantern Test
• Used by the Navy, Marines, and coast Guard.
• Involves colored signals that have to be identified
from a distance

SOMATIC GENE THERAPY• Works by delivering therapeutic DNA into a patient's cells
• Somatic gene therapy= DNA to somatic cells, or non-sex cells.
• will only affect the individual,
not the next generation.
• currently over 600 experiments of somatic cell gene therapy in the United States.
• only for treatment; complete cure of the mutated gene is not yet available.

GERMLINE GENE THERAPY• Works by joining a modified gene with germ cells to form a zygote.
• Germline gene therapy= intended for sex cells only.
• Heritable and passed on to
later generations.
• Ethical reasons and
risk to future generations
may prohibit Germline gene therapy
• Tremendous advancements since the first experiment in 1990.
• Genetic engineering.

SOCIETY ON COLORBLINDNESS• No discrimination.
• A lot of misconceptions.
• Difficulties reading color-coded maps.
• Difficult or impossible to get certain occupations.
