Prevalence of Red-Green
Color Vision Defects
among Muslim Males
and Females of Manipur,
India
Color blindness
 Inability or decreased ability to see color,
or perceive color differences, under
normal lighting conditions.
 Affects a significant percentage of the
population.
 No actual blindness -- deficiency of color
vision
• No treatment
• Nor the cause of any significant disability
• No actual blindness -- fault in the
development of one or more sets of retinal
cones that perceive color in light and
transmit that information to the optic
nerve.
• It is a sex-linked condition.
• Perception of color begins with specialized
retinal cells containing pigments with
different spectral sensitivities, known as
cone cells.
• In humans, there are three types of cones
sensitive to three different spectra,
resulting in trichromatic color vision.

The Genetics
of ColorBlindness

The Retina Contains Two Types of
Light-Detecting Cells
 Rods – “See in shades of grey”
– Cannot distinguish different wavelengths
(colors) of light.
– More sensitive to low light
– Used for night-vision

6
•

Cones – “See in colors”
– Three types of cones; differ in
which photoreceptor protein
(opsin) they make
• L-cones sense longwavelength (red) light
– Make the long-wavelength
opsin protein

• M-cones sense mediumwavelength (green) light
– Make the mediumwavelength opsin protein

• S-cones sense shortwavelength (blue) light
– Make the short-wavelength
opsin protein
Visible light is small part of electromagnetic
spectrum.

Color-Vision Genes
• Three kinds of color-vision genes in
humans:
"blue" pigment gene on chromosome 7
"red" and "green" pigment genes at the tip
of the long arm of the X chromosomeXq28
Types of Color Vision Deficiencies
By cause
Inherited:
•Trichromacy (“three-color vision”)
– Normal Color Vision
•Anomalous Trichromacy (“unusual three-color vision”)
– See all three primary colors.
– One color is seen weakly
• Protanomaly (L-cone defect) red-weak
• Deuteranomaly (M-cone defect) green-weak, by far the most
common type of color vision deficiency
• Tritanomaly (S-cone defect) blue-weak

14
 Dichromacy (“two-color vision”)
– See only two of the three primary colors
– One type of cone is totally absent or nonfunctional

• Protanopia (L-cone absent)
Pure reds cannot be seen, instead appearing black; purple colors cannot be
distinguished from blues; more orange-tinted reds may appear as very dim
yellows

• Deuteranopia (M-cone absent)
moderately affecting red–green hue discrimination

• Tritanopia (S-cone absent)
Blues appear greenish, yellows and oranges appear pinkish, and purple colors
appear deep red

Monochromacy, -- "total color blindness", is the lack of
ability to distinguish colors

•Rod Monochromacy (no cones at all) (“no-color vision”)
– Sees no colors, only shades of gray.
•Cone monochromacy is a rare total color blindness
-result of having more than one type of dichromatic color
blindness

 Congenital color vision deficiency (CVD) is an X
chromosome-linked recessive, autosomal dominant and
very rarely autosomal recessive inherited trait.
 Red-Green defects (Protan and Deutan) show the
highest prevalence in the general population.
 Impaired color vision, in the case of red-green color
blindness, is genetically determined by X- linked
recessive inheritance and thus occurs in males but is
transmitted via female and about 8.0% of all women are
its carrier.
X-linked recessive inheritance

Methods
Populations
• Manipur -- small hilly state
• Situated in the north eastern extreme
corner of India.
• Connects the Indian subcontinent to East
Asia and South East Asia as a unique
narrow passageway
• Shares an international boundary with
Myanmar (Burma)
• Isolated from the rest of India, both
geographically and economically
Prevalence of red green color vision defects
• Manipuri Muslims -- 8.32% of the total
population -- 2001 census.
• Mostly migrants -- started coming -middle of the 16th century
Muslims
-endogamous
• Manipur
population
• Sheikh
• Syed
• Pathan
• Mughal

• Clan names which in Manipuri are called
Yumnak
• About 74 clans are reported in Manipur in
the present times
Methods
 A cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study to
detect color-blindness -- Ishihara color test
 Individuals belonging to both sexes (Male-1352, Female
-1302) from the area of Imphal East and Imphal west
districts during house to house visit.
 Survey was also conducted taking Manipuri students
studying in Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh.
Population groups
Muslims with castes
•Sheikh
•Syed

Hindu (Meitei)
tribal(Naga)
Prior informed consent from the individuals, taking into
consideration the factors like caste, consanguity, age,
religion etc.
 Color vision deficiency -- 24-plate Ishihara’s Test of Color
Vision
 Testing plates -- 75 cm from the person
 Tilted at right angle to the line of vision
 Done in a properly lighted place
 Read the numbers -- test plates 1 to 17
 Assessment of the reading of plates 1 to 15 -- normality or
defectiveness of color vision
 If 13 or more plates are read correctly, the color vision is
regarded as normal.
 If only 9 or less than 9 plates are read correctly, the color
vision was regarded as red green deficient.
 The plates 16 and 17 are used to differentiate protan and
deutan types of color vision efficiency.

Genetic Data Analysis
• Phenotypes were recorded for color
blindness for each individual
• Allele frequencies were calculated -Hardy-Weinberg law.
• Level of heterozygosity
Hetrozygosity = 1- ΣHo
Ho -- homozygosity of the allele
Results
Face many difficulties in every-day life, some discussed
during the survey include
•Inability to recognize red and green LED displays on
electrical goods
•Difficulties in driving vehicles
Regarding health -- difficulties faced in differentiating
primary colors
•Lack of confidence
•Poor social image i.e. a fear that they are not alike to
normal vision individuals.
• Males -- denied the military jobs on grounds of color
blindness have stopped pursuing further studies
• Very few of well educated families have taken this in a
positive way and have started their life in a new way
• General population was mostly unaware of the difficulties
that color blindness can cause; besides they have
neither undergone any screening test
• Naga tribes -- least prevalence of color
blindness in both males and females
• Four Muslim caste and the Meitei
population -- higher prevalence of color
blindness.

Prevalence of red green color vision defects
Allele Frequency
Discussion
• Prevalence of the trait -- muslims is
important -- consanguineous marriages -might result in the birth of children with this
disorder
• The overall percentage of color blindness
-- 5.28%
• higher percentage -- males than in females
• Females -- carriers – 8.37%
• Meitei male -- highest color blindness
prevalence rate of 14.93%
• Syed population (11.48%) belonging to
Muslim religion
• Naga population -- the least prevalence
rate of 3.75%
• High prevalence rate in Muslims -- higher
frequency of consanguineous marriages
• Meitei population -- highest prevalence
percentage of 8.16% -- large number of
migration by Manipuri people over the past few
years, to different parts of India, indirectly
leading to increase in the rate of exogamous
marriages with non-manipuri populations
• Deuteranomaly cases -- higher percentage
• Overall prevalence rate of Protanomaly,
Deuteranomaly, Protanopia, Deuteranopia is
17.14%, 54%, 8.57% and 20% respectively
• Several researchers -- green color receptor is
commonly affected more than red or blue color
receptors
 Early diagnosis -- beneficial for future family planning and
lifestyles
 Helpful to create awareness among the parents and general
public about screening of color vision defects in apparently
healthy children
 Nonfatal disorder; usually remain unaware of the defect since
their vision is otherwise normal.
 Important for daily life work such as to recognize the traffic
signals during crossing roads or to build career in several
professions like- in Military, Pilot, Driver or Chemist etc.
• Congenital color blindness cannot be treated -- non
pathologic, incurable, and remain constant throughout life
• Several therapies have been proposed
 Electrical eye stimulation
 Iodine injections
 Large doses of vitamins

• No treatments or surgical procedures to improve the quality of
an individual’s chromatic vision.
• Optometrists give colored spectacle lenses or a single red-tint
contact lens to be worn over the non-dominant eye. Although
this may improve discrimination of some colors, it can make
other colors more difficult to distinguish.
• X-chrom contact lens
• Education, screening and prenatal counseling for the
disease in these areas could help
 Minimizing the occurrence of the disorder
 Help them to make informed choices and avoid the birth
of children with color blindness
• Moral support from the family and society is required for
the healthy development of mental status of the
individual suffering from this disorder
• Government should also make certain policies and
programmes regarding career choices and jobs for color
blind individuals.

Prevalence of red green color vision defects

  • 1. Prevalence of Red-Green Color Vision Defects among Muslim Males and Females of Manipur, India
  • 2. Color blindness  Inability or decreased ability to see color, or perceive color differences, under normal lighting conditions.  Affects a significant percentage of the population.  No actual blindness -- deficiency of color vision
  • 3. • No treatment • Nor the cause of any significant disability • No actual blindness -- fault in the development of one or more sets of retinal cones that perceive color in light and transmit that information to the optic nerve. • It is a sex-linked condition.
  • 4. • Perception of color begins with specialized retinal cells containing pigments with different spectral sensitivities, known as cone cells. • In humans, there are three types of cones sensitive to three different spectra, resulting in trichromatic color vision.
  • 5. Anatomy of an Eyeball 5
  • 6. The Genetics of ColorBlindness The Retina Contains Two Types of Light-Detecting Cells  Rods – “See in shades of grey” – Cannot distinguish different wavelengths (colors) of light. – More sensitive to low light – Used for night-vision 6
  • 7. • Cones – “See in colors” – Three types of cones; differ in which photoreceptor protein (opsin) they make • L-cones sense longwavelength (red) light – Make the long-wavelength opsin protein • M-cones sense mediumwavelength (green) light – Make the mediumwavelength opsin protein • S-cones sense shortwavelength (blue) light – Make the short-wavelength opsin protein
  • 8. Visible light is small part of electromagnetic spectrum. IR UV 700 8 600 500 400
  • 9. Cone cells in the human eye Cone type Name Range Peak wavelength S β 400–500 nm 420–440 nm M γ 450–630 nm 534–555 nm L ρ 500–700 nm 564–580 nm
  • 10. Retinal Cones–Normal Color Vision Red, green and blue cone sensitivity vs. wavelength curves 10
  • 11. 437 nm B 11 533 nm 564 nm G R NORMAL CONE SENSITIVITY CURVES (TRICHROMAT)
  • 12. Color-Vision Genes • Three kinds of color-vision genes in humans: "blue" pigment gene on chromosome 7 "red" and "green" pigment genes at the tip of the long arm of the X chromosomeXq28
  • 13. Types of Color Vision Deficiencies By cause Inherited: •Trichromacy (“three-color vision”) – Normal Color Vision •Anomalous Trichromacy (“unusual three-color vision”) – See all three primary colors. – One color is seen weakly • Protanomaly (L-cone defect) red-weak • Deuteranomaly (M-cone defect) green-weak, by far the most common type of color vision deficiency • Tritanomaly (S-cone defect) blue-weak 13
  • 14. How Color-Blind People See Things Normal Defect in L-cone (poor red vision) Defect in M-cone (poor green vision) Defect in S-cone (poor blue vision) 14
  • 15.  Dichromacy (“two-color vision”) – See only two of the three primary colors – One type of cone is totally absent or nonfunctional • Protanopia (L-cone absent) Pure reds cannot be seen, instead appearing black; purple colors cannot be distinguished from blues; more orange-tinted reds may appear as very dim yellows • Deuteranopia (M-cone absent) moderately affecting red–green hue discrimination • Tritanopia (S-cone absent) Blues appear greenish, yellows and oranges appear pinkish, and purple colors appear deep red
  • 16. A rainbow of colors as viewed by a person with no color vision deficiencies The same rainbow as viewed by a person with protanopia
  • 17. The same rainbow as viewed by a person with deuteranopia The same rainbow as viewed by a person with tritanopia
  • 18. Monochromacy, -- "total color blindness", is the lack of ability to distinguish colors •Rod Monochromacy (no cones at all) (“no-color vision”) – Sees no colors, only shades of gray. •Cone monochromacy is a rare total color blindness -result of having more than one type of dichromatic color blindness
  • 19. Some Views With and Without Color Vision 19
  • 20. Color Deficiency Males Females Protanopia Deuteranopia Protanomaly Deuteranomaly 1% 1% 1% 5% 0.01% 0.01% 0.01% 0.4% Overall (redgreen) 8% 0.5% Tritanopia 0.008% 0.008% Tritanomaly Rare Rare Rod Rare Rare monochromatism 20 Cone monochromatism Rare Rare
  • 21. Acquired Causes  Damage to the eyes, nerves, brain  Some metabolic disorders like • diabetes • glaucoma • macular degeneration  Chronic illness • Sickle cell anaemia  Exposure to industrial toxins  Drug over dose such as- digoxin, barbiturates, antitubercular drugs  Drug side effects like- Sildenafil (Viagra), Ethambutol, Chloroquine
  • 22. By Clinical Appearance  Total or partial. Total color blindness is much less common than partial color blindness.  Partial color blindness – Red–green Dichromacy (protanopia and deuteranopia) Anomalous trichromacy (protanomaly and deuteranomaly) – Blue–yellow Dichromacy (tritanopia) Anomalous trichromacy (tritanomaly)
  • 23. How Color-Blind People See Things What people with normal color vision see. What a red-green color-blind person sees. 23
  • 24.  Congenital color vision deficiency (CVD) is an X chromosome-linked recessive, autosomal dominant and very rarely autosomal recessive inherited trait.  Red-Green defects (Protan and Deutan) show the highest prevalence in the general population.  Impaired color vision, in the case of red-green color blindness, is genetically determined by X- linked recessive inheritance and thus occurs in males but is transmitted via female and about 8.0% of all women are its carrier.
  • 27. Populations • Manipur -- small hilly state • Situated in the north eastern extreme corner of India. • Connects the Indian subcontinent to East Asia and South East Asia as a unique narrow passageway
  • 28. • Shares an international boundary with Myanmar (Burma) • Isolated from the rest of India, both geographically and economically
  • 30. • Manipuri Muslims -- 8.32% of the total population -- 2001 census. • Mostly migrants -- started coming -middle of the 16th century Muslims -endogamous • Manipur population
  • 31. • Sheikh • Syed • Pathan • Mughal • Clan names which in Manipuri are called Yumnak • About 74 clans are reported in Manipur in the present times
  • 32. Methods  A cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study to detect color-blindness -- Ishihara color test  Individuals belonging to both sexes (Male-1352, Female -1302) from the area of Imphal East and Imphal west districts during house to house visit.  Survey was also conducted taking Manipuri students studying in Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh.
  • 33. Population groups Muslims with castes •Sheikh •Syed •Pathan •Mughal Hindu (Meitei) tribal(Naga) Prior informed consent from the individuals, taking into consideration the factors like caste, consanguity, age, religion etc.
  • 34.  Color vision deficiency -- 24-plate Ishihara’s Test of Color Vision  Testing plates -- 75 cm from the person  Tilted at right angle to the line of vision  Done in a properly lighted place  Read the numbers -- test plates 1 to 17  Assessment of the reading of plates 1 to 15 -- normality or defectiveness of color vision  If 13 or more plates are read correctly, the color vision is regarded as normal.  If only 9 or less than 9 plates are read correctly, the color vision was regarded as red green deficient.  The plates 16 and 17 are used to differentiate protan and deutan types of color vision efficiency.
  • 35. Plate 1 Both normal and those with all colour vision deficiencies should read the number 12

  • 59. Genetic Data Analysis • Phenotypes were recorded for color blindness for each individual • Allele frequencies were calculated -Hardy-Weinberg law. • Level of heterozygosity Hetrozygosity = 1- ΣHo Ho -- homozygosity of the allele
  • 60. Results Face many difficulties in every-day life, some discussed during the survey include •Inability to recognize red and green LED displays on electrical goods •Difficulties in driving vehicles Regarding health -- difficulties faced in differentiating primary colors •Lack of confidence •Poor social image i.e. a fear that they are not alike to normal vision individuals.
  • 61. • Males -- denied the military jobs on grounds of color blindness have stopped pursuing further studies • Very few of well educated families have taken this in a positive way and have started their life in a new way • General population was mostly unaware of the difficulties that color blindness can cause; besides they have neither undergone any screening test
  • 62. • Naga tribes -- least prevalence of color blindness in both males and females • Four Muslim caste and the Meitei population -- higher prevalence of color blindness.
  • 67. Discussion • Prevalence of the trait -- muslims is important -- consanguineous marriages -might result in the birth of children with this disorder • The overall percentage of color blindness -- 5.28% • higher percentage -- males than in females • Females -- carriers – 8.37%
  • 68. • Meitei male -- highest color blindness prevalence rate of 14.93% • Syed population (11.48%) belonging to Muslim religion • Naga population -- the least prevalence rate of 3.75%
  • 69. • High prevalence rate in Muslims -- higher frequency of consanguineous marriages • Meitei population -- highest prevalence percentage of 8.16% -- large number of migration by Manipuri people over the past few years, to different parts of India, indirectly leading to increase in the rate of exogamous marriages with non-manipuri populations
  • 70. • Deuteranomaly cases -- higher percentage • Overall prevalence rate of Protanomaly, Deuteranomaly, Protanopia, Deuteranopia is 17.14%, 54%, 8.57% and 20% respectively • Several researchers -- green color receptor is commonly affected more than red or blue color receptors
  • 71.  Early diagnosis -- beneficial for future family planning and lifestyles  Helpful to create awareness among the parents and general public about screening of color vision defects in apparently healthy children  Nonfatal disorder; usually remain unaware of the defect since their vision is otherwise normal.  Important for daily life work such as to recognize the traffic signals during crossing roads or to build career in several professions like- in Military, Pilot, Driver or Chemist etc.
  • 72. • Congenital color blindness cannot be treated -- non pathologic, incurable, and remain constant throughout life • Several therapies have been proposed  Electrical eye stimulation  Iodine injections  Large doses of vitamins • No treatments or surgical procedures to improve the quality of an individual’s chromatic vision. • Optometrists give colored spectacle lenses or a single red-tint contact lens to be worn over the non-dominant eye. Although this may improve discrimination of some colors, it can make other colors more difficult to distinguish. • X-chrom contact lens
  • 73. • Education, screening and prenatal counseling for the disease in these areas could help  Minimizing the occurrence of the disorder  Help them to make informed choices and avoid the birth of children with color blindness • Moral support from the family and society is required for the healthy development of mental status of the individual suffering from this disorder • Government should also make certain policies and programmes regarding career choices and jobs for color blind individuals.
