Phenylthiocarbamide tasting in a sample of twins.
1. Twenty-eight pairs of monozygotic and eighteen pairs of dizygotic twins were tested for their ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide (P.T.C.) by the method of Harris & Kalmus (1949). 2.

We questioned this, reasoning that those insensitive to PTC may be more vulnerable (because they may have lower hedonic tone and higher risk for alcohol abuse). Forty-two volunteers responded to questionnaires regarding family history ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between PTC taste status, alcohol problems, and family history ...
