Color Blindness from Gene Mutations. Inherited color blindness is usually the result of receiving a genetically mutated gene on the X chromosome; however research has shown that mutations that can lead to color blindness originate from in excess of 19 different chromosomes and many different genes.ene mutation on the X chromosome is most common and also explains why (depending on nationality) some 7% of males, but less than 1% of females exhibit color blindness of some form.
The most common cause of color blindness is a fault in the development of one or more of the three sets of color sensing cones in the eye. Males are more likely to be color blind than females as the genes responsible for the most common forms of color blindness are on the X chromosome. As females have two X chromosomes, a defect in one is typically compensated for by the other, while males only have one X chromosome.
