    Default Gene discovered that allows androstenone to be smelled

    visit-red-300x50PNG
    They found that people with a functional copy of the gene, called OR7D4, made properly shaped

    receptors that accepted androstenone. But thirty percent of people had a variation of the gene (OR7D4 WM) that made

    a receptor into which the androstenone could not fit. The difference in the receptor was very small Gene l — just

    two amino acids differed — but the effects were pronounced. Those with the functional copy were eleven times more

    sensitive to androstenone than their counterparts. And that marked the first proof that a particular gene was

    responsible for a person's ability to smell a certain odor.

    Thanks for posting this. I

    wish that we had some kind of test to know whether or not specific women had this gene. Sometimes when you like

    someone a lot, it can be daunting to try to use the more aggressive mones around her since you don't want her to

    have a possible negative response. Oh, well, our test is ultimately the only way to know for sure what a woman's

    response is since you actually get the response good or

    bad.
