Australian Trimethylaminuria Foundation Fund : You can now donate online

Regular readers will be aware that the Australian Trimethylaminuria Foundation are co-ordinating in a Trimethylaminuria research proposal led by Dr John Christodoulou. It is now possible to help donate to the fund online, as can be seen on this page : donate to the Trimethylaminuria research proposal .

Rob Brown, the chairman of the Australia TMAU Foundation, will no doubt keep us updated. Their website plans to host it's own forum, but in the meantime Rob can usually be found on his TMAUcure Yahoo Forum.

As Rob says

The Australian Trimethylaminuria Foundation (ATF) serves people with trimethylaminuria (TMAU) and other as yet undiagnosed or undescribed genetically mediated malodour disorders, and their friends, families and supporters.

The ATF’s primary aims are:
1. to facilitate scientific research into better treatments and a cure for TMAU.
2. to provide support for sufferers of TMAU and
3. to promote awareness of TMAU within the medical profession and within the wider community.

The ATF receives no financial support from government agencies but functions by way of donations and the voluntary work of its members.

TMAU is the only accepted 'bloodborne smell' disorder (if a Dr has ever heard of it), but the enzyme bearing the burden of that problem, FMO3, oxidizes many sulfides and amines. So it could be a case that FMO3 is responsible for a lot of various smells, in which case any FMO3 research would be of benefit if this turned out to be a factor. Since both the treatment proposals in this research are to do with FMO3, it would likely be of benefit for any FMO3 smell issues.
