Possible Roles for Products of Polymorphic MHC and Linked Olfactory Receptor Genes during Selection Processes in Reproduction*

19 Jun 2002

Abstract excerpt

PROBLEM: Polymorphic genes of the human major histocompatibility complex [MHC; human leukocyte antigen (HLA)] are probably important in determining resistance to parasites and avoidance of inbreeding. We investigated whether HLA-associated sexual selection could also involve HLA-linked olfactory receptor (OR) genes, which might not only participate in olfaction-guided mate choice, but also in selection processes...
