Abstract


The purpose of the study. To determine colour perception within pairs of monozygotic (MZ) twins and dizygotic (DZ) twins established by the Farnsworth–Munsell 100 hue (F-M 100).

Material and methods. 10 MZ twins and 6 DZ  twins were tested. The computerised F-M program was used for colour discrimination.

Results. The results of F-M 100 test in MZ and DZ twins showed 175.45±153.4 vs.91.17 ±57.0, P=0.17;

Conclusion. Colour contrast sensitivity assessment was statistical diference worse in MZ than in DZ.

 

Key words: monozygotic twins, dizygotic twins, colour vision, visual acuity.
