Abstract excerpt
Loss-of-function mutations of flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3), the enzyme responsible for trimethylamine N-oxygenation, cause the inherited disorder trimethylaminuria, or fish odor syndrome. The aim of this study was to further investigate the inter-individual variations of FMO3 activity in a Japanese cohort that we had studied previously. The subjects were 640 Japanese volunteers with self-reported...
