Trimethylaminuria

A hereditary autosomal recessive condition which results from the abnormal presence of large amounts of volatile and malodorous trimethylamine within the body. This chemical, a tertiary aliphatic AMINE, is excreted in the urine, sweat (ichthyohidrosis), and breath, which take on the offensive odor of decaying fish. Mutations in the FMO3 gene have been identified. OMIM: 602079

Also Known As:

Fish malodor syndrome; Fish odor syndrome; Fish-Odor Syndrome; Stale Fish Syndrome; TMAuria
