  1. TAS2R38 increases MGAM in humans (p < 0.001).

    “eQTL analysis linked the nontaster allele to increased expression of the gene MGAM in AD-affected brain regions (p < 0.001).”

  1. TAS2R38 lowers the risk of Alzheimer's disease in humans (p < 0.001).

    “TAS2R38 supertasters were connected to a reduced AD risk with advancing age due to its association with various AD biomarkers (p < 0.001).”
