INTRODUCTION Trimethylaminuria is a rare inherited disorder due to decreased metabolism of dietary-derived trimethylamine by flavin-containing monooxygenase 3. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms of the flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 gene have been described and result in an enzyme with decreased or abolished functional activity for trimethylamine N-oxygenation thus leading to trimethyla...

Trimethylamine itself has the powerful aroma of rotting fish, and this confers upon the sufferer a highly objectionabl...
