Variation in the gene TAS2R38 is associated with the eating behavior disinhibition in Old Order Amish women.

Appetite - 1 Feb 2010

Abstract excerpt

Insensitivity to the bitter-tasting compound 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) has been proposed as a marker for individual differences in taste perception that influence food preference and intake. The principal genetic determinants of phenotypic variation in PROP taste sensitivity are alleles of the TAS2R38 gene, which encodes a chemosensory receptor sensitive to thiourea compounds including PROP and...
