The Boy Who Smells Like Fish : TMAU awareness

The Boy Who Smells Like Fish : Newly released movie where the main character has trimethylaminuria (TMAU)

This movie is probably the greatest opportunity ever to raise awareness of TMAU in particular, and the concept of metabolic malodors in general. At the moment it only seems to have a distribution deal in Mexico due to start 5th April, but hopefully it will get a deal especially in the USA too. It would have such an impact in raising awareness, especially since the movie probably appeals most to younger people.

So far it has had it's premiere in Miami and been shown at a Mexican festival. The general feedback so far seems to be that it is an ok/good movie.

Everyone is "aware" of us....now maybe some will take the time to try to understand what it's like to exist, as social creatures", with this crushing condition.

We'll do anything for a "safe" place. The constant rejection and humiliation is far worse than anything.

My own family can't stand to be around me. One relative has to take xanax if he knows I'll be around him.

Being adopted and having no genetic history doesn't help either.

Note :
Exome/Genome testing may be better option than single gene testing.

See this post : link

Note : Genos Exome Testing.

Exome testing is almost the same price now as single gene testing. Also Genos is consumer friendly, which standard DNA labs are not.

So the blog offer to test solely for FMO3 is almost obsolete, and so no longer offered.


Does Genos fully sequence FMO3 gene ?

At the moment it is not clear, but hoped this will become clear over the next few months

Note : possible 'wild west' way of testing FMO3
Use an ancestry dna site and rummage through the raw data
