Suggest TMAU1 for screening program |
Trimethylaminuria will someday probably be added to the list of genetic disorders newborns are suggested to be screened for (each State decides it's own screening program), but not for the foreseeable future. All the other disorders are serious disorders that cause severe obvious physical problems, but you would imagine someday 'FMO3 deficiency' (which causes genetic TMAU) will be added due to the predicted 'psycho-social' problems.
Anyone wishing to draw attention to
genetic TMAU to the authorities could fill out the form provided by the
Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children . The ACHDNC would not be interested in other forms of TMAU other than the genetic (primary) form. Other countries will have similar newborn screening programs.
