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."

New research paper on Isolated Persistent Hypermethioninemia

Paper title :  Spectrum of mutations associated with methionine adenosyltransferase I/III deficiency among individuals identified during newborn screening in Japan.

by : Nagao M, Tanaka T, Furujo M. Source Department of Pediatrics and Clinical research, National Hospital Organization Hokkaido Medical Center, Sapporo, Japan

pubmed link to abstract :  isolated persistent hypermethioninemia research paper

It has been noted in the blog before that  isolated persistent hypermethioninemia (IPH) is another known cause of 'metabolic malodor'. There is not much interest in this as it is generally regarded as being 'benign' (i.e. symptomless) apart from a malodour (probably in a transient form).

Only the abstract is free to read, but from the abstract it seems this is a similar paper that geneticists tend to do about metabolic disorders, i.e. checking out a small group of 'sufferers' to check the gene at fault for the sufferers' variants/mutants etc. They estimate that in Japan the 'disorder' may affect about 10 in a million, but 'facts' of these disorders tends to start on the conservative side and tend to focus on 'severe' genetic types. So it is presumably unknown how many may have this disorder in a more 'genetically milder' 'transient' form.

They also claim in this paper that it may not be a 'benign' metabolic disorder (i.e. malodor is not important) as some in their group had  "brain demyelination or neurological complications"
