OMIA:002686-9483 : Colour vision, deficiency in Callithrix jacchus (white-tufted-ear marmoset)

In other species: Japanese medaka , Tufted capuchin , crab-eating macaque

Categories: Vision / eye phene

Links to possible relevant human trait(s) and/or gene(s) in OMIM: 303800 (trait)

Single-gene trait/disorder: yes

Mode of inheritance: X-linked

Disease-related: yes

Key variant known: no

Cross-species summary: Dichromatic colour vision; colorblindness; colour blind; color vision deficiency; CVD

Species-specific description: Yeh et al. (2023): "New-world primates such as the marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) show polymorphism for the middle- to long-wavelength sensitive cone pigments. Each X-chromosome carries a gene for only one of three possible pigments. All males are thus dichromats, but some females will be trichromats."
