Male and female correlations for taster (P.T.C.) phenotypes and rate of adolescent development.

Annals of human biology - 1 Jan 2000

Abstract excerpt

Growth and development from infancy to age 18 years in tasters and non-tasters of phenylthiocarbamide (P.T.C.) were studied in 50 female and 44 male subjects. Taster girls reached all indices of maturation an average of 3.8 months earlier than non-taster girls. The reverse was true for boys, non-tasters maturing on average 6.2 months earlier than tasters. For both sexes, there was a significant correlation...
