An 'affected' gene is either missing (as in Protanopia and Deuteranopia - Dichromacy) or is a chimeric gene (as in Protanomaly and Deuteranomaly). Since the OPN1LW and OPN1MW genes are on the X chromosome, they are sex-linked , and therefore affect males and females disproportionately.
This gene deletion leads to protanopia or deuteranopia (congenital red–green dichromacy). [citation needed] Unequal homologous combination that creates chimeric genes and therefore underlies protanomaly and deuteranomaly. The third gene array shows a dichromatic genotype; the fourth shows a deuteranomalous genotype.
The Ishihara test is a color vision test for detection of red–green color deficiencies.It was named after its designer, Shinobu Ishihara, a professor at the University of Tokyo, who first published his tests in 1917.

It is ...
It is sex-linked and affects about 1% of males. Color vision is very similar to protanopia. [2] Tritanopia is a severe form of blue-yellow color blindness, in which the S-cone is absent. It is much rarer than the other types, occurring in about 1 in 100,000, but is not sex-linked, so affects females and males at similar rates.
Unequal homologous combination that leads to gene deletion and therefore underlies congenital dichromacy (protanopia and deuteranopia). The third gene array shows a deuteranopia genotype; the fourth shows a normal color vision genotype. OPN1MW2 is a duplication of the OPN1MW gene arising from unequal homologous recombination. During this ...

Gene therapy for color blindness is an experimental gene therapy of the human retina aiming to grant typical trichromatic color vision to individuals with congenital color blindness by introducing typical alleles for opsin genes.
