FMO3 is an enzyme. It is a protein made up of a 532 DNA coding sequence then ended with a 'stop' codon. My naive impression is that the 'wild type' DNA code for a protein is the 'perfect' coding for the protein. I am not sure if anyone ever has the ideal 'wild type' code (as it may be the case that most/all humans carry faults that usually have no effect). However it gives someone a code to compare their own coding sequence with. If your code differs from the wild type, you then have to wonder if your 'faults' will cause problems in practice. DNA testers will have a list of 'faults' they think can cause problems, and also sometimes the faults might be little faults that added together might cause problems (cumulative).
So for reference purposes, the 10 photos in this post show the 532 DNA coding sequence to build a FMO3 protein that will then act as an enzyme.
