Original Note:
80-95% of East Asians are homozygous for a recessive allele of the ABCC11 gene, which results in dry earwax and less body odour. This phenotype is moderately frequent in some other ethnic groups, but absent in African and European ethnic groups. https://doi.org/10.1038/ng1733 https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-1809.1962.tb01766.x
