Marker

rs61902559

rs61902559 is a GRCh38 C/G/T marker in an olfactory-receptor cluster on chromosome 11. The pineapple study tested only C/T: each T copy was linked to higher odds of correct identification (OR 1.24; 95% CI 1.18-1.30), while C was the negative signed effect allele. The direction appeared in men and women and was stronger in men. OR5A2 is the nearest candidate at about 6.6 kb, but the causal receptor is unresolved. Genotypes containing the unstudied G allele are outside the reviewed map.
