Genome-wide association meta-analysis of human olfactory identification discovers sex-specific and sex-differential genetic variants

Abstract Smelling is a human sense, expressing strong sexual dimorphisms. We aim to improve the knowledge of the genetics of human olfactory perception by performing an exploratory genome-wide association meta-analysis of up to 21,495 individuals of European ancestry. By sex-stratified and overall a...
