Gene Abcc11 facts
While investigating facts about Gene Abcc11, I found out little known, but curios details like:
Most Koreans don't produce body odor due to large scale dominance of the gene ABCC11. As a consequence, deodorant is a rare commodity.
Two percent of people carry an unusual form of a specific gene (ABCC11) that means their armpits never smell.
In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 10 of the best facts about Gene Abcc11 I managed to collect.
-
Over 99% of Koreans have a mutated gene called ABCC11 which alters the composition of sweat so that they do not produce body odor. Only 2% of Europeans have this same mutation
-
Most Koreans do not use deodorant due to a gene called ABCC11, which prevents sweat from producing odor.
-
Its hard to find deodrant in Korea as almost all korean lacks gene ABCC11 responsible for armpit odor.
-
Armpit odor is completely dependent on a single gene (ABCC11) and that many East Asians (and almost all Koreans) do not need to wear deodorant because of this gene.
-
Around 2% of the UK doesn't have smelly body odor. "Two percent of people carry an unusual form of a specific gene (ABCC11) that means their armpits never smell."
-
Koreans are the least stinkiest people after sweating and have completely dry earwax, thanks to c.538A (dry-type) mutation in ABCC11 gene
-
Human gene called ABCC11 prevents the armpit from producing an offensive odor. Roughly 2% of the population has this gene, mostly in East Asian populations.
-
Most people of Asian descent biologically don't require deodorant, since they lack the gene (ABCC11) that causes odour in sweat.
