A total of 3,285 young males selected at random from the school population of Rome have been administered the Ishihara plates for colour blindness. Those who failed to read all plates correctly were further administered Farnsworth's Panel D-15 and the diagnoses of colour blindness were made by an ophthalmologist and cross checked. A total of 201 subjects were found to be colour-blind, allowing a gene frequency estimate of 0.061 +/- 0.004. This is the first reliable estimate for the Italian population and appears to be lower than for other Caucasoid populations. The gene frequency of colour blindness is known to increase from 0.02-0.04 in 'primitive' populations to 0.07-0.09 in Caucasoid populations, possibly as a result of a selection relaxation.
从罗马学校人群中随机挑选出3285名年轻男性，对他们进行了石原色盲测试图检测。那些未能正确读出所有测试图的人进一步接受了法恩斯沃思D - 15色觉测试，由一名眼科医生做出色盲诊断并进行交叉核对。总共发现201名受试者患有色盲，基因频率估计为0.061±0.004。这是对意大利人群的首次可靠估计，且似乎低于其他高加索人群。已知色盲的基因频率从“原始”人群中的0.02 - 0.04增加到高加索人群中的0.07 - 0.09，这可能是选择放松的结果。
