What are the available genetic testing for detecting the carrier gene for colorblindness?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
You mean in women...: ...Who are carriers of the gene on the x chromosome, and can have sons who are color blind? I'm sure it's possible; i doubt there is much of a demand for testing for a condition that does so little harm.

Research tool: From my reading, it's been available for about a year as part of the reserach project for treating colorblindness with new genes.
