Did you know that Mark Zuckerberg is colourblind? That did not stop him from making a Billion dollar company. But an interesting trivia about the logo is the reason he chose blue as the colour for the logo is because it is the colour which he sees the best. In an interview to Jose Antonio Vargas he says “ Blue is the richest colour for me, I can see all of blue.” And that is true, because of the reds and greens are fuller than they should be, the blues stand out.
Have you noticed that in my previous post? You would see that the play mat shows brighter blues and so do the blue pants .
Do you know any famous personalities with colour blindness? Especially an Indian personalities? 🤓

Google tells me that 1 in 12 men are colourblind , and 1/200 women are colourblind. That’s roughly 8 % of men in the world suffer from some amount of colour vision deficiency. And as my previous post has already explained, the genetics of the disease , you now understand why men are more affected than women.
My father and brother have RG colour vision deficiency, and my mother is a carrier ( understand the genetics from my previous post) and I am a carrier, and my son has a high possibility of being colourblind. (50% chance)
So this Holi I am creating .
Today all day on my insta stories both on and I will share images of how normal people see and how someone with Deutranomaly or RG colour vision deficiency sees.
I have kept the setting at 44% colour vision deficiency rather than 100% deficiency because the condition has variable penetrance and it isn’t as if no colour is seen at all.
In the above images you can see my son’s T-shirt has red and green stripes with grey, and the bottom image the red and the green are fuller than the original, also skin tone is duller ( RG colour deficient should not take up dermatology as a speciality ) but what really shocked me was the difference in colour when I took a picture of his playmat! The green is so much more dull, and the blue really stands out, no wonder he prefers blue to other colours.
Share your colour vision deficiency stories, and spread the awareness .

Genetic transmission of Colourblindbess:
1. Colourblindbess is a s*x ( gender ) linked genetic condition.
2. The defective gene lies on the X chromosome , of which women have 2 X chromosomes and men have 1 X and 1 Y chromosome.
3. Colourblindbess is a X linked recessive gene, meaning for a woman to show signs of Colourblindbess , both her C chromosomes need to be affected , and for men since they have only 1 X chromosome, even one affective chromosome shows signs of Colourblindbess . Thus, Colourblindbess is more commonly seen in men.
4. Colourblindbess is a hereditary condition, and by drawing family trees like this it is easy to predict chances of the next generation having the condition or not.
5. Since the male child gets the X chromosome from the mother, and Y from the father; an affected male child got the disease from the mother carrier.
6. A carrier woman is one with single X chromosome affected, but she does not show signs of Colourblindbess since the other X chromosome is fine.
7. There is no cure of Colourblindbess yet.
