 The authors reported that a SNP, 538G-A, in ABCC11, leading to a G180R substitution in the corresponding protein, provokes a dry and white earwax phenotype, which is predominant among East Asians (80-95%) and rare among European and African populations (0-3%), which normally have a wet and yellow earwax phenotype.
