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."

New TMAU paper : L-Carnitine treatment and fish odor syndrome: An unwanted adverse effect.

This is a new 'case study' trimethylaminuria paper by a group in France. There is very little to read in the abstract,  but it implies that a patient on Levocarnitine treatment was probably smelling (of fish ?) and they were tested and found to be positive for TMAU. This problem with levocarnitine has been mentioned before in pubmed. It has to be remembered that TMA can be produced from carnitine by gut bacteria.

They use concise terms that in effect describe TMAU1 and the most common form  of TMAU2 (bacterial overgrowth):
TMAU1 :  enzyme deficiency (FMO3)
TMAU2 from bacterial overgrowth :  enzyme saturation

Presumably the paper title should say "unwanted" rather than "unwaited"

Abstract

INTRODUCTION:
Levocarnitine treatment is usually well tolerated, with essentially dose-dependent diarrhea as the main induced adverse effect.


CASE REPORT:
We report a case of fish odor syndrome during levocarnitine treatment which resolved after levocarnitine discontinuation.


CONCLUSION:
This adverse effect seems to be correlated with excedent carnitine intake and might be expressed when the elimination pathway becomes saturated or in a situation of deficiency enzymatic metabolism.

So it should be remembered that the TMAU diet probably involves reducing carnitine as well as choline.
