Human taste genetics.

Annual review of genomics and human genetics - 1 Jan 2005

Drayna Dennis

Abstract excerpt

Humans show substantial differences in taste sensitivity to many different substances. Some of this variation is known to be genetic in origin, and many other inter-individual differences are likely to be partially or wholly determined by genetic mechanisms. Recent advances in the understanding of taste at the molecular level have provided candidate genes that can be evaluated for contributions to phenotypic...
