H53.5 | Color vision disorders - protanopia |
ICD-10 online (WHO version 2019) |
Under Protanopie (from ancient Greek πρώτος Protos , German , the first ' , according to Helmholtz first receptor of the trichromatic visual apparatus) is the Rotblindheit and protanomaly understood Rotsehschwäche. It is a genetically caused color ametropia . In people with protanopia, red and green cones no longer differ in their color response. Protanopes therefore only have two instead of three different types of cones. In men, about 1% protanopia and 1% protanomaly are affected, in women 0.01% protanopia and 0.03% protanomaly. In the short-wave range they (like those with healthy colors) see a deep blue, in the medium-wave range gray (neutral point at 492 nm), in the long-wave range a deep yellow. Is caused by mutations in OPN1LW - gene coding for the red-sensitive opsin encoding that portion of the red Iodopsins is. Usually the cones contain a defective iodopsin for the perception of red, which means that the neutral point does not differ (protanopia) or only slightly (protanomaly) from the one in the green cones.
