Potentilla recta, the sulphur cinquefoil [1] or rough-fruited cinquefoil, is a species of cinquefoil. It is native to Eurasia but it is present in North America as an introduced species, ranging through almost the entire continent except the northernmost part of Canada and Alaska. The plant probably originated in the Mediterranean Basin.
These include issues around the governance of the therapy, whether treatment should be available only to those who can afford it, and whether the availability of treatment creates a stigma for those with color blindness. Given the large number of people with color blindness, there is also the question of whether color blindness is a disorder. [16]
There is no cure for most causes of color blindness; however there is ongoing research into gene therapy for some severe conditions causing color blindness. [2] Minor forms of color blindness do not significantly affect daily life and the color blind automatically develop adaptations and coping mechanisms to compensate for the deficiency. [2]

Potentilla / ˌ p oʊ t ən ˈ t ɪ l ə / [1] is a genus containing over 500 species of annual, biennial and perennial herbaceous flowering plants in the rose family, Rosaceae. Potentillas may also be called cinquefoils in English, but they have also been called five fingers and silverweeds .
There is no cure for Blue cone monochromacy. However, there are prospective gene therapy treatments which are currently being evaluated for safety and efficacy. Gene therapy is a general treatment for genetic disorders; it uses viral vectors to carry typical genes into cells (e.g. cone cells ) that are not able to express functional genes (e.g ...
Males are more likely to inherit red–green color blindness than females, because the genes for the relevant opsins are on the X chromosome. [1] Screening for congenital red–green color blindness is typically performed with the Ishihara or similar color vision test. [1] It is a lifelong condition, and has no known cure or treatment. [1]
Neitz's research lab, which is run jointly with his spouse Maureen Neitz, works on the biology of vision disorders, particularly related to color-blindness. Their work on treating color-blindness in monkeys received some attention in the popular science press. In this work, they gave gene therapy to two red-green color-blind squirrel monkeys ...
