rs34160967
TAS1R1rs34160967 is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the TAS1R1 gene. Genespiral reads it in the Sensory Processing analysis to describe Umami Sensitivity.

- 1 trait across 1 analysis
An rsID such as rs34160967 is the reference number dbSNP assigns to one position in the genome where people commonly differ by a single letter. Raw data exports from 23andMe and AncestryDNA list your two alleles at that position as a genotype - for this marker one of GG, AG, AA. The order of the two letters carries no meaning, so AG and its reverse are the same genotype.
Alleles on this page are written on the forward (plus) strand, matching how consumer raw files report them. Other references sometimes describe the same variant on the opposite strand, which swaps A↔T and C↔G - see why the same variant can look different. The associations below are educational summaries of published research; they are not diagnoses, and the effect of any single SNP is usually modest.
Umami Sensitivity
Taste Processing · Part of the Sensory Processing analysis
Umami taste receptor gene affecting savory taste perception.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| GG | Enhanced umami perception |
| AG | Moderate umami perception |
| AA | Reduced umami perception |
- Summary
- Influences sensitivity to umami (savory) flavors.
- Scientific insights
- 'GG' carriers often have enhanced perception of umami tastes.
- Lifestyle tips
- Can influence preferences for protein-rich and fermented foods.
