Analysis of six novel flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 () gene variants found in a Japanese population suffering from trimethylaminuria.

Polymorphic human flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) is associated with the inherited disorder trimethylaminuria. Several FMO3 variants have been observed in a variety of ethnic groups, including a Japanese cohort suffering from trimethylaminuria. The aim of this study was to screen another self-reported Japanese trimethylaminuria cohort for novel FMO3 variants and to investigate these new variants.
