Sticky and Smelly Earwax Caused Breast Cancer

For you that are rarely clean your earwax should be careful. The combination of wet earwax, and smelled of it has to do with mutations for ABCC11 breast cancer gene types. A research in Japan had prove it.

The results which are reported in the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) Journal that are being quoted by HealthLifeSource from health24, Thursday (2/7/2009) mentions that the ABCC11 gene mutations in breast cancer also occurred in the type of earwax wet and sticky.

“We found a mutation in the gene ABCC11, which after the investigation was derived from the type of earwax which is wet and sticky,” said Dr. Toshihisa Ishikawa of Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan.

Why and how this can happen is still unknown.

Earwax is formed from the sweat produced by human sweat glands. The earwax also affect body odor. There are two types of human earwax, namely dry and wet. Asians generally have dry earwax, whereas the Europeans and Africans are generally moist and slightly sticky.

A study by Ishikawa and its partners showed that the mutation 538G> A affects several functions of ABCC11 protein, which in turn affects the work of the sweat glands. The possibility which causing earwax wet and somewhat sticky to be one source of breast cancer.

Although the problem of earwax sound trivial, but this research had been done seriously. Because there is clinical evidence that indicates that the formation of G in the ABCC11 gene is closely associated with the type of earwax which is wet, sticky and smelly.

For the future, the types of genetic mutations in the ABCC11 gene may be a reference to diagnose the type of earwax dangerous (wet, sticky, smell) that is currently to be a dread disease in Japan.

To detect this gene type quickly, the experts developed a method that allows analysis of ABCC11 gene mutations in 30 minutes. Methods will be available in the form of a special tool that can analyze the genetic relationship between earwax, body odors that are less good, and the risk of breast cancer.
