Earwax type

Physical Traits

Earwax type (wet versus dry) is one of the simplest single-gene traits in humans, determined by a variant in the ABCC11 gene.

The dry-earwax variant is most common in East Asian populations, while wet earwax predominates in most other populations.

This result reflects research-level information about a well-characterized variant and is not a clinical assessment.

ABCC11 also influences underarm body odor, which is why earwax type and body odor are often studied together.
