4 SelenBP1 variants in Halitosis Study

2017 paper by Prof Ron Wevers et al ...
Said a gene caused a type of genetic Metabolic Halitosis.
gene : SELENBP1

Prof Wevers et al suggested 4 SELENBP1 variants may explain this type of Metabolic Halitosis

The paper is paywalled, but it is believed the 4 variants are :

                                normal

Rs1357490520        GG

Rs1553204840        CC

Rs1553204817        GG

Rs758495626          GG

If you have DNA exome/genome/snp results, you might be able to check for these variants

23andme (a snp test) lists SELENBP1,
but looks like it does not list these variants.

Only 23andme testers can see the link :

23andme site: or you can search the rs numbers

exome/genome tests should in theory list them

An uneducated opinion on SELENBP1 in the METABOLIC MALODOR spectrum
Some may feel given FMO3 wide use as an oxidizer, it is perhaps seen as still the most obvious type of metabolic malodor, but greatly underestimated.
SELENBP1 may turn out to be more a rarer niche type (?), but this could be very wrong (especially the 'rare' notion) !
