Homozygous deletion of six olfactory receptor genes in a subset of individuals with Beta-thalassemia.

Progress in the functional studies of human olfactory receptors has been largely hampered by the lack of a reliable experimental model system. Although transgenic approaches in mice could characterize the function of individual olfactory receptors, the presence of over 300 functional genes in the hu...
