TMA, TMAO and diseases
Trimethylaminuria - Fish-odor syndrome
therefore, the body of trimethylaminuria patients frees TMA (volatile), leading to a rotten-fish odor. This (inborn or acquired) disease is highly psychologically and socially pertubating. As inborn disease, it is believed to be a rare disease (meaning 1 of 40.000 people in UK), with big variations among populations.
