title: [Distribution of morphologic traits and ability to taste PTC in Northern Greek populations].
abstract: Four qualitative morphological traits (relative finger length, hypertrichosis of external ear, association of the eyebrows, cheek-dimples) and the ability to taste PTC have been studied in a total of 7831 males and females from Thessaloniki and its surroundings. This sample is representative for the population of Northern Greece. The distribution of all these five parameters is showing more or less marked sex differences. The frequencies found in the Greek sample are compared with those reported for other populations.
