Investigating olfactory gene variation and odour identification in older adults

Investigating olfactory gene variation and odour identification in older adults

Ageing is associated with a decrease in odour identification. Additionally, deficits in olfaction have been linked to age-related disease and mortality. Heritability studies suggest genetic variation contributes to olfactory identification. The olfactory receptor (OR) gene family is the largest in t...
