Abstract Background The TAS2R38 gene carries markers for phenylthiocarbamide (PTC)
sensitivity. Various studies have investigated the genotype–phenotype association pattern …

Bitter substances are identified by protein receptors located on surface of taste cell
membranes. Mutational polymorphism of the bitter taste receptor (TAS2R38) is a significant …

Abstract Background/Aims: TAS2R38 belongs to the TAS2R bitter taste receptor gene family
and polymorphisms are associated with differences in bitter taste perception of …

The present study was done in humans, based on responses to some bitter compounds.
Some show a bimodal distribution that distinguishes two phenotypes, tasters and non …

Polymorphisms in bitter taste receptor gene TAS2R38 alter the ability to sense the intensity
of bitterness of phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP). Genetic …

Background The bitter taste receptor gene TAS2R38 is a member of the human TAS2R
gene family. Polymorphisms in TAS2R38 affect the ability to taste the bitterness of …

The TAS2R38 gene is involved in bitter taste perception. This study documents the
distinctive diversity patterns in northern Africa of functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms …

Sensitivity to phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) has a bimodal distribution pattern and the
genotype of the TAS2R38 gene, which is composed of combinations of three coding single …

Although human bitter taste perception is hypothesized to be a dietary adaptation, little is
known about genetic signatures of selection and patterns of bitter taste perception variability …

The TAS2R38 gene is involved in bitter taste perception. This study documents the
distinctive diversity patterns in northern Africa of functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms …
