Colour blindness (Daltonism): Disorder that affects the ability to, in most cases distinguish reds from greens

Explanation:

Fragile X syndrome is an inherited disease associated with different health problems during development including cognitive disabilities.

Duchenne is an inherited disorder caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene that encodes a protein required for normal muscle functioning.

Hemophilia is an inherited disorder caused by mutations in the genes that encode for coagulation factors, which are required for normal blood coagulation.

Colour blindness is an inherited condition associated with the ability to distinguish red color from green color. This condition is caused by mutations in the genes that encode for red and green light-sensitive proteins.
