The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a group of genes involved in the immune system and has been found to influence odor preferences in various studies. Specifically, individuals tend to prefer the odor of T-shirts from individuals with different MHC genes than their own, possibly as a way to increase genetic diversity in offspring.
