Preferred Label : C3hex, ability to smell;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Cis-3-hexen-1-ol (C3HEX) is present in a wide range of foods and beverages, including
wine and spirits, olive oil, vegetables, fruit, and green tea. C3HEX is commonly associated
with sensory characteristics such as 'green' and 'grassy.' The probability of an individual's
ability to detect C3HEX at a particular intensity (the R-index) can be estimated,
and the threshold for detection is normally distributed (summary by Jaeger et al.,
2010).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the olfactory receptor, family 2, subfamily J, member 3 gene
(OR2J3, 615016.0001);
Prefixed ID : #615082;
Origin ID : 615082;
UMLS CUI : C3554456;
