TAS2R38 gene polymorphism and its association with taste perception, alcoholism and tobacco chewing among the Koraga-a primitive tribal population of Southwest …
Abstract Introduction The Koraga tribe is one of the primitive tribal populations residing in the
southwest coast of India. Addiction to alcohol and tobacco chewing are most common in the
Koraga population. The TAS2R38 gene variants were being associated with a variety of
bitter tasting dietary foods, alcohol, and nicotine. Hence, we examined the influence of the
TAS2R38 gene polymorphisms on the alcohol dependence and tobacco chewing habits
among the Koraga tribal population. Methods Volunteers (n= 296) belongs three clans (Onti …
