Comments on: My Uncles Are Colorblind http://www.thesuzette.com/2009/06/my-uncles-are-colorblind/ A blog for Ian and Isabel Wed, 28 Jul 2010 01:37:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: suzette http://www.thesuzette.com/2009/06/my-uncles-are-colorblind/comment-page-1/#comment-80043 suzette Tue, 02 Jun 2009 09:10:39 +0000 http://www.thesuzette.com/?p=1399#comment-80043 Aiyu: Ya, today we went to the clinic, and our dearest doctor was so helpful. He told Ian that he has a SPECIAL GIFT, that he can see a world of different colors from others. And he also shared with us a neuro-specialist who is also a colorblind. Ian felt so special after the visit to the clinic! :) Busy Bee: Hmm... if Ryan is color blind, then he gets it from mother, not dad. It is in the X chromosome. Since he is a boy, he gets Y from his dad, even if his dad is a colorblind. Then your daughter will be a carrier if your hubby is a CB. Sounds confusing? :p Pei Wei: Ya, especially after visiting the doc today! :) Aiyu: Ya, today we went to the clinic, and our dearest doctor was so helpful.

I also suspect Ryan is a little colour blind, he always insist that "green" is "blue" and he is always a little unsure even when we probe him. Think he gets it from his daddy. But I have not confirmed this with the doctor yet, am still praying (and hoping) that it is not!

I should know, my father is color blind. I'm definitely a color blind gene carrier. If I have a son, he has 50% chance of being color blind. oh ya, why didn’t I thought to telling you about the genetics of color blind. I should know, my father is color blind.
