Introduction


Trimethylaminuria and the Flavin Monooxygenases

Trimethylaminuria (TMAU) is a metabolic disorder that produces pronounced body odors resulting from the systemic accumulation of an excessive amount of unoxidized trimethylamine that is then excreted in the breath, sweat, and urine. The biochemical deficit causing this condition is the inability to completely metabolize trimethyamines (TMA) to TMA-oxide (TMAO) in the liver. Many researchers believe that there are several types of TMAU caused by a "spectrum" of changes in the gene which controls the formation of the flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) enzyme. In humans, this is an important liver enzyme that controls the metabolism of substances such as TMA. The most severe form of TMAU appears to be caused by mutations in the FMO3 gene; these mutations appear inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. Studies are leading many researchers to conclude that the less severe forms of TMAU are caused by several non-benign genetic polymorphisms in the FMO3 gene. Genetic polymorphisms are changes in the gene structure that may be fairly common in the population; however, for reasons, which are not well understood, these changes lead to TMAU-symptoms in certain individuals.

It is estimated that as much as one percent of the U.S. population may suffer from TMAU, but its true incidence is not yet known. But whether it is one or one-tenth of one percent, we know that the condition affects people of both sexes and of all ages and races from around the world. Currently there are more than 300 people with a malodor disorder on the Trimethylaminuria Support Group's mailing list, with many more preferring to remain anonymous because of the often-associated stigma, negative and harassing behaviors targeted at some, and the general lack of medical and other support.

This bibliography was prepared in support of the Second Workshop on Trimethylaminuria held at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on March 15-16, 2002, in Bethesda, Maryland. The Workshop was sponsored by the NIH Office of Rare Diseases. Co-sponsors of the meeting included: the National Human Genome Research Institute; the National Center for Research Resources; the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases; the National Library of Medicine; and the Trimethylaminuria Support Group, Inc. (TSG). It was organized by TSG, Inc., and co-chaired by John Cashman, Ph.D., and Eileen Treacy, M.D. This meeting marked the first time large numbers of people with TMAU came together to get the critical facts needed to better understand its mechanisms and treatment options, and to learn how to manage life with TMAU. Goals of the meeting included educating people with TMAU, increasing general awareness, and stimulating new research into this life-disrupting condition.

Candidate citations for this bibliography were obtained from searching a wide of variety of online databases for the period January 1999 through August 2001. Although the search strategy was not limited by language or types of material, the resulting final bibliography consists primarily of citations to English-language journal articles and conference papers. Both human and animal studies have been included. Citations have been arranged into six broad categories; a citation appears in only one category. This publication also updates the bibliography prepared for the First International Workshop on Trimethylaminuria (Fish-Malodor Syndrome) held at the NIH in March 1999:
