| HGNC Family | G protein-coupled receptors |
| Name | olfactory receptor, family 4, subfamily C, member 16 (gene/pseudogene) |
| Description | 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. This olfactory receptor gene is a segregating pseudogene, where some individuals have an allele that encodes a functional olfactory receptor, while other individuals have an allele encoding a protein that is predicted to be non-functional.

Specifically, carriers of the OR4C16GA + AA genotype were more likely to experience RPL, a correlation that was further strengthened by concomitant alterations in blood coagulation parameters, such as prothrombin time.
