Orphanet and list of potential contacts for trimethylaminuria help

Perhaps if anyone enquires by email, they may agree to do testing. Adult Metabolism Units would seem natural first choices of contact.While it is very difficult to find known testers of metabolic body odors and/or halitosis, the technology is probably readily available worldwide in, for example, hospitals. Detection of the smelly compounds probably being possible using a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry machine or by Proton NMR spectroscopy or similar. These are usually present in metabolism units in hospitals, usually for pediatric units or adult metabolism units. With something like trimethylamine, it's presumably a case of them calibrating the GS/MS to look for that. For those who feel trimethylaminuria doesn't seem a sole answer, they could possibly be tested for any volatile organic compounds rather than just trimethylamine, or just malodorous volatile compounds. Orphanet seems to be a European based website giving information on health problems and possible connections. In their section on TMAU, they have a list of 'clinics' and 'diagnosis centers'. On first glance most don't seem to list trimethylaminuria, (although more do than expected), but they all seem to be metabolism units of some sort and will have the technology. Usually they use them to detect amino-acid disorders or organic acids. Perhaps if anyone enquires by email, they may agree to do testing. Adult Metabolism Units would seem natural first choices of contact. These links (and the ones in the sidebar in the section : "Peer Evidence for Experts") may be helpful in persuading them about trimethylaminuria and it's prevalence : www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bookshelf/br.fcgi?book=gene&partid=1103 http://www.orpha.net/consor/cgi-bin/OC_Exp.php?lng=EN&Expert=35056
