85 GENETICS OF CHRONIC PAIN AND PSYCHIATRIC/ NEURODEVELOPMENTAL DISORDERS

Humans perform daily activities at light levels that exceed those where rods contribute significantly to vision, but where cones are active. The capacity to see color is a prominent feature of cone vision; however, cones are also responsible for high acuity vision and play an important role in regulating eye growth. This article reviews the role of cone opsin gene mutations on vision including color vision deficiency, X-linked cone dystrophy and...
