Answer:

Individuals are often characterized as “tasters” or “non-tasters” of PTC, but there is some variability amongst tasters in how much bitterness they can detect. ... The ability to taste PTC is due changes in the TAS2R38 gene that affects the function of bitter taste receptors on the tongue.
