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."

Thank you for the time to talk to us about TMAU yesterday.

In terms of drug development for TMAU, given the available knowledge of the TMA metabolism, it seems possible that small molecules could be developed to modulate TMA levels.

The attached PDF entitled TMA inhibitor is an example that I found.

You may have seen this, but It turns out that the same approach has implications for treating heart disease, so there is already drug development ongoing

https://newsroom.clevelandclinic.org/2018/08/06/potential-new-class-of-drugs-developed-at-cleveland-clinic-may-reduce-cardiovascular-risk-by-targeting-gut-microbes/

There may be other labs or companies working in the same area, so this is not intended to be a complete list.

Along the same lines, another possible therapeutic strategy that is worth considering would be breaking down or trapping TMA.

While gene therapy to the liver is theoretically possible, it seems unlikely at the moment given the serious risks of gene therapy, and since TMAU is not a life threatening disease.

An alternative that could be considered is using genetically modified microorganisms in the gut to do the same things.

These links discuss some examples of that strategy.

Here are two companies working in this area that I know of;
there may well be more

As I mentioned yesterday, this information is not an endorsement of any company; just some ideas for you to consider and discuss with your scientific and medical advisors.
