rs4481887
OR2M7rs4481887 is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the OR2M7 gene. Genespiral reads it in the Sensory Processing analysis to describe Asparagus Metabolite Detection.

An rsID such as rs4481887 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 AA, AG, GG. 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.
Asparagus Metabolite Detection
Chemical Sensing · Part of the Sensory Processing analysis
Affects ability to smell specific compounds after asparagus consumption.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| AA | Strong ability to detect metabolites |
| AG | Moderate detection ability |
| GG | Limited or no detection ability |
- Summary
- Influences detection of asparagus metabolites in urine.
