FMO3 Gene Trimethylaminuria Genetic Test
Welcome to DNA Labs UAE, your trusted genetic testing laboratory. Today, we will be discussing the FMO3 Gene Trimethylaminuria Genetic Test and its cost.
Test Details
The FMO3 gene is responsible for producing an enzyme called flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3). This enzyme plays a crucial role in the metabolism of certain compounds, including trimethylamine (TMA). Trimethylaminuria, also known as fish odor syndrome, is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the FMO3 gene.
People with trimethylaminuria are unable to properly break down TMA, resulting in a strong body odor resembling that of rotten fish. To diagnose this condition, we offer the FMO3 Gene Trimethylaminuria Genetic Test using NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) technology.
NGS is a type of genetic testing that allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes, providing a comprehensive analysis of an individual’s genetic makeup. By analyzing the FMO3 gene for mutations associated with trimethylaminuria, our test can help confirm a diagnosis and provide information about the specific genetic mutation(s) present.
Test Components and Price
The FMO3 Gene Trimethylaminuria Genetic Test is priced at 4400.0 AED. The test requires a sample of either blood, extracted DNA, or one drop of blood on an FTA Card.
Report Delivery
Once the sample is collected, the report will be delivered within 3 to 4 weeks. Our team of experts will analyze the data and provide a detailed report of the findings.
Test Type and Doctor
The FMO3 Gene Trimethylaminuria Genetic Test falls under the category of Metabolic Disorders. Our team of experienced General Physicians will oversee the testing process and provide expert guidance.
Test Department
The FMO3 Gene Trimethylaminuria Genetic Test is conducted in our Genetics department. Our skilled geneticists and technicians ensure accurate and reliable results.
Pre Test Information
Prior to the test, it is important to provide the clinical history of the patient who is undergoing the FMO3 Gene Trimethylaminuria NGS Genetic DNA Test. Additionally, a Genetic Counselling session will be conducted to draw a pedigree chart of family members affected by Trimethylaminuria. This information helps in understanding the inheritance pattern and potential risk factors.
Implications and Future Considerations
The results of the FMO3 Gene Trimethylaminuria Genetic Test can be used for genetic counseling, family planning, and potentially for personalized treatment options in the future. However, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor to fully understand the implications of the results and discuss any potential treatment options.
At DNA Labs UAE, we are committed to providing accurate and reliable genetic testing services. Contact us today to schedule an appointment for the FMO3 Gene Trimethylaminuria Genetic Test and take a step towards better health.

This technique allows for the simultaneous sequencing of multiple genes, providing a comprehensive analysis of an individual’s genetic makeup. The FMO3 gene trimethylaminuria NGS genetic test involves collecting a sample of DNA, typically through a blood or saliva sample, and analyzing it using NGS technology. The test can identify mutations in the FMO3 gene that may be causing trimethylaminuria. The results of the test can help confirm a diagnosis of trimethylaminuria and provide information about the specific genetic mutation(s) present. This information can be used for genetic counseling, family planning, and potentially for personalized treatment options in the future. It is important to note that while genetic testing can provide valuable information, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor to fully understand the implications of the results and discuss any potential treatment options. |
