title: Genetic determinants of visual functions.
abstract: Recent studies on the molecular genetics and biochemistry of cone and rod photoreceptors have contributed significantly to our understanding of the basis for variation in normal and anomalous color vision in human populations, and for some of the hereditary eye diseases characterized by retinal degeneration.
