Overview of Gene Research
Or4d6, an olfactory receptor gene, is involved in the olfactory system which combines input from multiple receptor types to represent odor information. Olfactory receptors play a crucial role in the perception of various odors, and Or4d6 is part of this complex system that contributes to the overall understanding of olfactory coding [1].

A SNP (rs1453542) in Or4d6 was identified as a marker for gemcitabine/carboplatin-induced neutropenia, indicating its potential association with the response to chemotherapy drugs [2]. Also, Or4d6 was among 9 pathogenic germline variants clinically associated with survival outcome in rectal adenocarcinoma (READ), where patients carrying this germline susceptibility variant had an increased risk of poor survival [3]. Additionally, two linked SNPs in Or4d6 were associated with the musk Galaxolide, and it was the first human OR shown to drive specific anosmia to a musk compound [1].

In conclusion, Or4d6 is important for olfactory coding, specifically related to the perception of musk-like odors. It also has implications in chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and the survival outcome of rectal adenocarcinoma patients. Research on Or4d6 through genetic variants analysis provides insights into olfactory mechanisms and disease-related genetic factors, which may help in understanding disease processes and developing potential therapeutic strategies.
