Allele frequencies of a SNP and a 27-bp deletion that are the determinant of earwax type in the ABCC11 gene.
Allele frequencies for a SNP (rs17822931) and a 27-bp deletion that are the determinant of earwax type in the ABCC11 gene were investigated in seven Japanese, one Korean, and one German populations. The SNP will be useful as one of ancestry information markers, because it showed marked difference in frequencies between Asian and European populations.
