The exact aetiology of AO is still not fully understood, but genetic factors have been suggested to play an important role. Recently, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs17822931 in the <jats:italic>ABCC11<\/jats:italic> gene located on human chromosome 16q12.1 has been shown to be associated with AO. In this study, we genotyped rs17822931 in two independent samples of Chinese Hans including 93 AO individuals vs 95 controls and 81 AO individuals vs 106 controls by using SNaPshot Multiplex Kit. We confirmed the association for <jats:italic>ABCC11<\/jats:italic> gene, showing that rs17822931-G was significantly associated with increased risk for AO (P<jats:sub>combined<\/jats:sub>\u2009=\u20091.42E-21, OR\u2009=\u200983.94, 95% CI\u2009=\u200983.03\u201384.85). We also found rs17822931 was associated with subphenotypes of AO. AO individuals carrying the risk allele G are more likely to show wet earwax (P\u2009=\u20092.40E-05), higher frequency of family history (P\u2009=\u20091.04E-02) and early age of onset (P\u2009=\u20093.81E-02). Our study concluded that the association of rs17822931 in the <jats:italic>ABCC11<\/jats:italic> gene with AO was replicated in Chinese Han population.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/srep46335","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,9]],"date-time":"2017-05-09T09:39:05Z","timestamp":1494322745000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["A missense variant of the ABCC11 gene is associated with Axillary Osmidrosis susceptibility and clinical phenotypes in the Chinese Han Population"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Yunqing","family":"Ren","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wenting","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jisu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianyou","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ke","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiong","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Suiqing","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Min","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianjun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lunfei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dan","family":"Xue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"BFsrep46335_CR1","first-page":"948","volume":"Vol. 1","author":"LA Goldsmith","year":"2012","unstructured":"Goldsmith, L.
