PY - 2015 DA - 2015/09/21 TI - Children’s perceptions about medicines: individual differences and taste JO - BMC Pediatrics SP - 130 VL - 15 IS - 1 AB - Bitter taste receptors are genetically diverse, so children likely vary in sensitivity to the “bad” taste of some pediatric formulations. Based on prior results that variation in a bitter taste receptor gene, TAS2R38, was related to solid (pill) formulation usage, we investigated whether this variation related to liquid formulation usage and young children’s reports of past experiences with medicines and whether maternal reports of these past experiences were concordant with those of their children.
