除髮色膚色外,耳垢(cerumen)也有種族之分的。499Please respect copyright.PENANAkERHE2ejsA

(圖2)有研究指出(Ref1),80-95%的東亞地區人,30-50%的南亞、北美人,499Please respect copyright.PENANAp4Zy5cWsjb
耳垢均呈乾身狀態。499Please respect copyright.PENANAXa0FwXREAj
然而,只有3%左右的歐洲及非洲人擁有這個乾身耳垢特質。499Please respect copyright.PENANAsDXmx8rem6

經一輪比對後,科學家認為共有四條基因對耳垢到底是濕是乾有著重大的影響力,分別為ABCC12, ABCC11, LONPL and SIAH1。499Please respect copyright.PENANADu65WGPGCS

(圖3)研究中的126名日本人,有88名乾身耳垢人士,38名濕身耳垢人士。499Please respect copyright.PENANANkmP6MIbwl

乾身耳垢88人之中,87人兩條ABCC11基因某個區域均為AA英文字母。499Please respect copyright.PENANAUO4LptwReU
499Please respect copyright.PENANAydWTHo4OWc
而濕身耳垢38人之中,兩條ABCC11基因某個區域均為GG英文字母,又或者是一條基因為A,一條基因為G。499Please respect copyright.PENANA99qk25ntdI
499Please respect copyright.PENANAo0PlyZIzas
其後科學家亦證實,該基因區域的英文字母,將對ABCC11蛋白質的功用有著重大的影響。499Please respect copyright.PENANAoHafdznAN0

耳垢是濕是乾,對健康有沒有影響暫時尚未清楚。現今開始亦有研究嘗試透過檢測耳垢的狀況來判斷人體的健康狀況,處於初步及有爭論性的階段之中。499Please respect copyright.PENANAutGEjii3Lo
