Denver TMAU Test Lab survey click here
click to Read more/less

USA survey for anyone who wants to improve Denver TMAU test

begun : Dec22
end : no ending for now

A trainee genetic counselor is working at the Denver TMAU test lab. Probably as part of her training. As a project she wishes feedback on any aspect of the Denver TMAU test and process. You can fill in the survey and/or email her (email address is in survey). It's meant for USA people, but perhaps others can give their view too (as we have so few opportunities).

quote from her rareconnect post

"Hello all! I wanted to make you aware of a research study being conducted to better understand the experience and needs of individuals with trimethylaminuria with a goal of being able to create improved patient and healthcare provider education materials. Any participation is completely voluntary and all responses remain confidential. Feel free to use the contact information within the link with any questions or share the survey with others with TMAU."

Ataluren trials doing well in phase 2 trials

We have written before about the drug Ataluren, which is undergoing trials to prove it's efficacy and safety. It is a drug by PTC Therapeutics which seems able to overrule the false stop that happens in nonsense mutations (which result in immature proteins).

Nonsense mutations usually cause a severe form of whatever protein they cause to form incompletely, but usually make up only around 5-10% of the genetic cases of any disorder. This is probably true for FMO3 protein formation too. For example, of the 532 amino acid sequence that makes up an FMO3 protein, there is known to be a nonsense mutation possible at amino acid 148, which causes the protein to stop formation there.  

The trials have reached phase 2 of the 3 phases usually undergone by a new drug. They have just released an update of how the phase 2 trial went in the case of the genetic disorder Cystic Fibrosis. It seems to have gone well.

"...These encouraging data demonstrating statistically significant pharmacodynamic activity support the potential of ataluren for a significant subset of severely affected CF patients," stated Professor Michael Wilschanski, Director, Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hadassah University Hospital. "The results are important because they suggest that ataluren promotes the production of full-length, functional cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein and addresses the underlying cause of the disorder. Currently available treatments for cystic fibrosis only address symptoms, and new therapies such as ataluren are urgently needed..."
