Hi,
Has anyone heard of any research that may implicate the FMO3 gene with CFS/ME?
I have a couple of genetic variations that predispose me to TMAU (fish odour syndrome), but as far as I'm concerned, TMAU is only a symptom of malfunctioning FMO3. My version of TMAU is intermittent and, generally, dependent on stress levels and the food I eat, so it's fairly easy to control. Some people have an extreme version of TMAU which affects them enormously (in a social sense), fortunately I don't, but I do have ME (whatever that turns out to be).
FMO3 plays a big part in the metabolisation of foodstuffs and environmental and endogenous chemical compounds, and, since a lot of people with CFS/ME have problems with chemical sensitivity, drug intolerances and dodgy hormones it seems reasonable to consider FMO3 involvement somewhere along the way.
Anyone have any thoughts, or info, on this?
