Sidoti Lab
Medical Genetics clinic
Messina University Hospital, Sicily Italy
The Sidoti Lab in Messina has taken an interest in TMAU and FMO3 over the last few years.
They have done a few TMAU/FMO3 papers, and look to be continuing.
They request you send your FMO3 / TMAU result to them.
After contacting them, it seems they are interested in FMO3/TMAU results data.
They request you send such data if you wish.
At this initial stage, it's unclear what exact data.
Perhaps a best option is to contact them and ask.
Sidoti Lab Messina TMAU contact email : infotmau@unime.it
It is possible that this lab is the best hope for TMAU/FMO3 people currently.
They also TMAU test, as well as publish papers.
The website is in Italian.
Chrome Browser gives an option to translate to other languages.
Some quotes from Sidoti Lab Messina
"Our lab performs the TMAU genetic test even for patients who do not live in Italy. The test is free because it is carried out with research fund money contributions, especially for patients who cannot pay or for any other reasons. Therefore we cannot release an official report, but we will be able to let you know if you have TMAU or not, in a mild or severe form"
"We would like to receive the results of other patients. The more data we can analyse the better it is!"
"We can accept both kind of data Whole genome and clinical FMO3 tests of each patient."
"regarding the patient's results we prefer Whole genome raw data (FASTQ is better, when avalaible; otherwise the BAM file could be useful for us but, in this case, we also need the exact reference genome -eg. Hg19 or Hg38- used for mapping)."
"If it will not be possible, The Clinical FMO3 tests (we suppose you refer to a list of FMO3 variants) could be also suitable for our analysis."
"Anyway, how many patients are you speaking about?"

I went ahead and sent them my FASTQ file.
Suggestion: combine DMB with the grape ingredients and you've got almost an effective treatment.
Es importante que todos los que padecemos de este terrible mal tratemos de hacernos este tipo de estudio , pero también necesitamos que nos indiquen adecuadamente como hacerlo ya que muchos de nosotros no contamos con los conocimientos necesarios
you are right. unfortunately they do not speak english very well, and also we are having to fit into their plans and structures.
maybe if people keep emailing them to try and get them to be public-friendly and a useful outcome, that might help.
