rs17822931
rs17822931 is an ABCC11 missense variant. On the gene strand, the common A allele changes Gly180 to Arg and causes loss of function. Genomic-forward TT usually predicts dry earwax and a tendency toward less underarm odor; CC and CT usually predict wet earwax and a tendency toward more underarm odor. The earwax result is stronger than the odor tendency, and rare alleles can change the call.
