Genes affected
FMO3 (HGNC:3771): (flavin containing dimethylaniline monoxygenase 3) Flavin-containing monooxygenases (FMO) are an important class of drug-metabolizing enzymes that catalyze the NADPH-dependent oxygenation of various nitrogen-,sulfur-, and phosphorous-containing xenobiotics such as therapeutic drugs, dietary compounds, pesticides, and other foreign compounds. The human FMO gene family is composed of 5 genes and multiple pseudogenes. FMO members have distinct developmental- and tissue-specific expression patterns. The expression of this FMO3 gene, the major FMO expressed in adult liver, can vary up to 20-fold between individuals. This inter-individual variation in FMO3 expression levels is likely to have significant effects on the rate at which xenobiotics are metabolised and, therefore, is of considerable interest to the pharmaceutical industry. This transmembrane protein localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum of many tissues. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. Mutations in this gene cause the disorder trimethylaminuria (TMAu) which is characterized by the accumulation and excretion of unmetabolized trimethylamine and a distinctive body odor. In healthy individuals, trimethylamine is primarily converted to the non odorous trimethylamine N-oxide.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]

The FMO3 c.1474C>T (p.Arg492Trp) missense variant has been reported in two studies in which it is found in a total of two individuals with trimethylaminuria, both in a compound heterozygous state with a second missense variant (Akerman et al. 1999; Dolphin et al. 2000). The p.Arg492Trp variant was absent from 180 controls and is reported at a frequency of 0.00047 in the European American population of the Exome Sequencing Project. The variant is noted to involve a hypermutable CpG site and is a non-conserved change in a highly conserved region of the FMO3 gene (Akerman et al. 1999). Functional studies indicated that the p.Arg492Trp variant severely attenuated the normal capacity of the enzyme to catalyze TMA N-oxidation, and that the variant protein was incapable of catalyzing the S-oxidation of methimazole (Dolphin et al. 2000). Additional functional studies by Yeung et al. (2007) found that the p.Arg492Trp variant was well expressed but failed to retain the FAD cofactor. The p.Arg492Trp variant protein showed no detectable kinetic activity on several substrates. Based on the evidence, the p.Arg492Trp variant is classified as likely pathogenic for trimethylaminuria. This variant was observed by ICSL as part of a predisposition screen in an ostensibly healthy population.

This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with tryptophan, which is neutral and slightly polar, at codon 492 of the FMO3 protein (p.Arg492Trp). This variant is present in population databases (rs72549334, gnomAD 0.02%). This missense change has been observed in individual(s) with trimethylaminuria (PMID: 10338091, 10479479, 11191884, 12678693, 34834137). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 16309). Invitae Evidence Modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt FMO3 protein function with a positive predictive value of 95%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects FMO3 function (PMID: 11191884, 17531949). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
