Prevalence of congenital color vision defects in Saudi females of Arab origin
چکیده انگلیسی

BackgroundInherited color vision deficiencies (CVD) vary in prevalence by population and by sex. The most common CVD is X chromosome–linked anomalous trichromacy. Prevalence varies significantly by sex and race. The frequency of color vision defects in Saudi females has not been studied previously. This study surveyed the prevalence of congenital color vision defects in Saudi females of Arab origin.MethodsSeven thousand four hundred sixty-seven female subjects (N = 7,467) from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were screened using both Ishihara pseudoisochromatic plates and the Farnsworth Dichotomous test (D-15). CVD subjects were tested further with the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue test.ResultsOf 7,467 female subjects tested, 26 subjects were found to have defective color vision, for a prevalence of 0.35%. Sixteen subjects had a deutan defect, and 10 had a protan defect. Arab females have significantly lower prevalence of CVD when compared with published data from females of other races. Analysis of the 5 regions of Saudi Arabia showed no significant difference between the regions.ConclusionPrevalence of CVD among Saudi females of Arab origin is 0.35% and is among the lowest of all published data.
