Clinical trial looking for 'known' or 'suspected' metabolic cases

Early news:

The NIH ORD info page on Trimethylaminuria is currently informing that there is a clinical trial ongoing looking for people with known or suspected metabolic disorders of any age. This may be an opportunity for metabolic body odor and halitosis to get recognised by the system. It looks more a training program than anything.

This study will provide medical evaluations for patients with known or suspected metabolic and genetic disorders. It will allow NICHD investigators and trainees experience in diagnosing, managing, and treating patients with metabolic and genetic disorders who may not be eligible for an active NIH research trial. Participants in this protocol will only have tests and procedures used in the standard practice of medicine; there will be no experimental tests or treatments. Patients who are found eligible for an active research protocol will be offered participation in that study. The medical evaluations in this trial may uncover new disease processes that prompt new research initiatives.
