Molecular Genetics of Human Blue Cone Monochromacy
Abstract
Blue cone monochromacy is a rare X-linked disorder of color vision characterized by the absence of both red and green cone sensitivities. In 12 of 12 families carrying this trait, alterations are observed in the red and green visual pigment gene cluster. The alterations fall into two classes. One class arose from the wild type by a two-step pathway consisting of unequal homologous recombination and point mutation. The second class arose by nonhomologous deletion of genomic DNA adjacent to the red and green pigment gene cluster. These deletions define a 579-base pair region that is located 4 kilobases upstream of the red pigment gene and 43 kilobases upstream of the nearest green pigment gene; this 579-base pair region is essential for the activity of both pigment genes.

In the citing paper
“Nathans and colleagues discovered a DNA element upstream of the L opsin gene that is essential for transcription of the X-chromosome opsin genes (Nathans, Davenport, Maumenee, Lewis, Hejtmancik, Litt, Lovrien, Weleber, Bachynski, Zwas, Klingaman & Fishman, 1989). The DNA element was given the name Locus Control Region, abbreviated LCR”

In the citing paper
“A relatively common cause of BCM was identified as the deletion of the LCR (Nathans et al., 1989, Nathans, Maumenee, Zrenner, Sadowski, Sharpe, Lewis, Hansen, Rosenberg, Schwartz, Heckenlively, Trabousli, Klingaman, Bech-hansen, LaRouche, Pagon, Murphy & Weleber, 1993), which results in a complete absence of L and M cones because the cones cannot express any of the X-chromosome opsin genes.”

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.
