Abstract excerpt
The primary genetic form of trimethylaminuria (TMAU) is caused by inherited defects in the flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) gene. Defective FMO3 has a decreased ability to catalyze the N-oxygenation of the dietary-derived malodourous amine, trimethylamine. We report two novel deleterious mutations identified in two unrelated individuals affected by the disorder. Sequence analysis of the FMO3 coding exons...
