ال GNAT2 gene provides instructions for making one part (called the cone-specific alpha subunit) of a protein called transducin. This protein is found in light-detecting (photoreceptor) cells called cones, which are located in a specialized tissue at the back of the eye known as the retina. Cones provide vision in bright light (daylight vision), including colour vision. Other photoreceptor cells, called rods, provide vision in low light (night vision).

ال GNAT2 gene provides instructions for making one part (called the cone-specific alpha subunit) of a protein called transducin. This protein is found in light-detecting (photoreceptor) cells called cones, which are located in a specialized tissue at the back of the eye known as the retina. Cones provide vision in bright light (daylight vision), including colour vision. Other photoreceptor cells, called rods, provide vision in low light (night vision).
Transducin plays an essential role in transmitting visual signals from photoreceptor cells in the retina to the brain through a process called phototransduction. Photoreceptors contain special pigments (called photopigments) that absorb light. The photopigments activate transducin, which triggers a series of chemical reactions within the cell. These reactions alter the cell's electrical charge, ultimately generating a signal that is interpreted by the brain as vision.

Sometimes a blood test for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is also taken at 6- to 12-monthly intervals although this is not a very accurate test and is not routinely recommended. These tests can detect liver cancer at an earlier stage and therefore improve the chance of successful.
