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."

Phenylketonuria and Maple Syrup Urine disease. Recognised bloodborne odor problems

Main points :
From Merck manual
Other accepted bloodborne odors caused by errors in metabolizing certain amino acids
The main point : Can people with only mildly defective genes (or combos with 1 very bad copy, a null allelle) who are regarded 'asymptomatic' have a 'secret' transient odor problem ?

Phenylketonuria : mousy odor
Maple Syrup Urine Disease : sweet smell


Both Phenylketonuria and Maple Syrup Urine disease in their purest forms (and variations close to that) are serious life-threatening health problems that will be quickly diagnosed (that's how the medical system mostly discover health problems). But what about 'normal' 'carriers' or having one 'serious' copy and a combo with a mild defective copy and other variations ? Perhaps these people are 'asymptomatic' to their doctors, but they silently suffer from transient odor issues that they can't smell and doesn't affect their physical health.

Quotes from Merck manual :

Phenylketonuria
"Untreated children often give off a "mousy" body and urine odor as a result of a by-product of phenylalanine (phenylacetic acid) in their urine and sweat."

Maple Syrup Urine Disease
" and the odor of maple syrup particularly during physical stress, such as infection or surgery."
