The frequency of tasters and nontasters of PTC varies among populations.
- In population A, 60 percent of people are tasters (an autosomal dominant trait) and 40 percent are nontasters.
- In population B, tasters are 75 percent and nontasters 25 percent.
- In population C, tasters are 91 percent and nontasters are 9 percent.
