Abstract excerpt
Trimethylaminuria (fish odor syndrome) is a metabolic disorder characterized by the inability to convert malodorous dietary-derived trimethylamine (TMA) to odorless TMA N-oxide by the flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3). Mutations of the FMO3 gene were investigated in Japanese trimethylaminuria that showed low FMO3 metabolic capacity. Novel polymorphisms in the FMO3 gene causing stop codons at Cys197,...
