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."

2 UK Gov replies about TMAU to 2 MP's

2 UK residents wrote their MPs to ask them about TMAU.
Both MPs wrote questions to the Health Minister.

Here are the replies :

5feb19
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps the Government is taking to address the need for research into Trimethylaminuria; and if he will make a statement.

Reply :
Caroline Dinenage Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Government supports research into common and rare diseases through the Department funded National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) in England. The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including Trimethylaminuria. These applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards being made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality. In all disease areas, the amount of NIHR funding depends on the volume and quality of scientific activity.

The Government also supports research into rare diseases through the Medical Research Council, funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of funding for research into methods for (a) treating and (b) curing Trimethylaminuria.

Reply :
Caroline Dinenage Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

The Government supports research into common and rare diseases through the Department funded National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) in England. In 2017/18 the NIHR funded one research study into the trimethylaminuria disease which took place at the NIHR Guy’s and St Thomas’ Biomedical Research Centre and NIHR Guy’s and St Thomas’ Clinical Research Facility. The study investigated the feasibility of a novel assessment tool to measure the treatment efficacy in patients suffering from Trimethylaminuria. The study ran for nine months and finished in February 2018.

The Government also supports research into rare diseases through the Medical Research Council (MRC), funded by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. An MRC award of £361,000 from 2013 to 2016 supported researchers at University College London in testing a new therapy to be used for the treatment of trimethylaminuria. Further information on the project, including publications outlining the results can be found at the following link:

https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=MR%2FK015494%2F1

Rare diseases patients also benefit from the pioneering research under the 100,000 Genomes Project. As of October 2018, over 3,000 researchers in 387 United Kingdom and international institutions were part of Genomics England’s Clinical Interpretation Partnership, which have been set up to improve understanding of genomic medicine and its application to healthcare; improve understanding of diseases; and lead the way to developing new diagnostics and treatments.

Write Politicians about TMAU
Writing to Politicians is a major way to influence change to TMAU in the Health System
Politicans put pressure on the Government and Health agencies to affect change. Without that it is unlikely there will be any progress for TMAU or Metabolic Malodor Syndromes.

A suggestion would be to write your representative about TMAU.
They will probably send a question to the Health Dept Head.
A great way to get TMAU on the radar at the top.

Article on BBC that may interest the community;-

Wendy Dahl, assistant professor in of food science and human nutrition at the University of Florida, has found that a high-protein diet containing red meat is associated with increased production of TMAO, a metabolite associated with heart disease that is produced by gut microbes and absorbed into the body. Some studies have found that people who consume a vegan diet have lower levels of TMAO.
