OR5I1

Chr 11

olfactory receptor family 5 subfamily I member 1

Also known as: HSOlf1, OLF1

NCBI Gene: 10798 ENSG00000167825 UniProt: Q13606

Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. The olfactory receptor proteins are members of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) arising from single coding-exon genes. Olfactory receptors share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for the recognition and G protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Background carrier burden — how many people carry a rare variant somewhere in OR5I1?

gnomAD v4 · ~730k individuals · PASS only

Rare means allele frequency under

Rare missense

1 in 96

458 rare PASS variants

Rare truncating (LoF)

1 in 510

67 rare PASS variants

Rare synonymous (reference)

1 in 440

174 rare PASS variants

Truncating variants are far rarer here than missense — that gap, in human units, is what constraint means for OR5I1. A background rate for each class, not the frequency of any particular variant; thin-coverage exons undercount.

By genetic ancestry · 9 gnomAD groups · rare = under 0.1% in that group

Group	People	Missense	Truncating
European (non-Finnish)	~556k	1 in 140	1 in 720
South Asian	~43k	1 in 130	1 in 1,300
Remaining (unassigned)	~30k	1 in 150	1 in 830
European (Finnish)	~27k	1 in 330	≈ 1 in 13,000
Admixed American	~22k	1 in 100	1 in 480
African / African American	~21k	1 in 100	1 in 580
East Asian	~20k	1 in 120	1 in 1,300
Ashkenazi Jewish	~13k	≈ 1 in 3,300	≈ 1 in 13,000
Middle Eastern	~2,880	1 in 280	1 in 360

Each group is summed over the variants that are rare in that group. Grey ≈ figures rest on fewer than five expected carriers — too few to distinguish groups. Differences mostly reflect how many people were sampled and how much variation each ancestry carries, not disease risk.
