In 263 Peruvian Indians, natives and residents of Andean villages in the Department of Pasco, where goiter is endemic, very low frequencies of PTC non‐tasters were found in agreement with other data on South America Indians. The data suggest that in this population the risk of developing goiter either is not associated with the tasting non‐tasting dimorphism, or is greater in the taster class
