The ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) has been investigated in a group of 366 Turkish medical students. The incidence of non-tasters was 7.78% (t gene frequency = .279) and 12.9% (t gene frequency = .359) for females and males respectively. The frequency of non-tasters for both sexes combined was 11.2% (t gene frequency = .335).
