Abstract in brief
A specific genetic variant (SNP 538G>A) in the ABCC11 gene determines whether people have wet or dry earwax, with the AA genotype linked to dry earwax and the GA/GG genotypes linked to wet earwax.
The allele associated with dry earwax (A) is most common in East Asian populations and shows a geographical gradient worldwide, suggesting it originated in northeast Asia and spread globally.
This SNP is notable because it is the first known example of a DNA polymorphism directly responsible for a visible physical trait, like earwax type.]

it’s caused by different alleles of the gene, dry earwax is more common in east asia and it’s why ppl complain about Japanese deodorants not working often lol
