Topographical cone photopigment gene expression in deutan-type red–green color vision defects
Abstract
Eye donors were identified who had X-chromosome photopigment gene arrays like those of living deuteranomalous men; the arrays contained two genes encoding long-wavelength sensitive (L) pigments as well as genes to encode middle-wavelength sensitive (M) photopigment. Ultrasensitive methods failed to detect the presence of M photopigment mRNA in the retinas of these deutan donors. This provides direct evidence that deuteranomaly is caused by the complete absence of M pigment mRNA. Additionally, for those eyes with mRNA corresponding to two different L-type photopigments, the ratio of mRNA from the first vs. downstream L genes was analyzed across the retinal topography. Results show that the pattern of first relative to downstream L gene expression in the deuteranomalous retina is similar to the pattern of L vs. M gene expression found in normal retinas.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
