Abstract excerpt

We previously reported that paternally inherited human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles are a template for women's preferences for male odors (p = 0.0007). However, it has been suggested that sequence variation in a nearby olfactory receptor (OR) cluster on chromosome 6p influences smell preference. To determine whether the HLA-linked OR genes contribute to previously observed HLA-mediated behaviors, we use the...
