rs713598
TAS2R38rs713598 is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the TAS2R38 gene. Genespiral reads it in the Sensory Processing analysis to describe Bitter Taste Perception.

An rsID such as rs713598 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 CC, CG, GG. The order of the two letters carries no meaning, so CG 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.
Bitter Taste Perception
Taste Processing · Part of the Sensory Processing analysis
Bitter taste receptor affecting perception of PTC and related compounds.
| Genotype | Association |
|---|---|
| CC | Strong bitter taste sensitivity |
| CG | Moderate bitter taste sensitivity |
| GG | Lower bitter taste sensitivity |
- Summary
- Influences sensitivity to bitter tastes, impacting food preferences.
- Scientific insights
- Those with 'CC' genotype often experience bitter tastes more intensely.
- Lifestyle tips
- Understanding your bitter sensitivity can help in making dietary choices.
