Understanding Trimethylaminuria: You’re Not Alone
Living with persistent, unexplained body odour that doesn’t respond to regular hygiene practices can be emotionally devastating. Many South Africans suffer in silence, feeling isolated and misunderstood. Trimethylaminuria, often called ‘fish odour syndrome,’ is a real medical condition caused by genetic mutations in the FMO3 gene. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the profound impact this condition can have on your confidence, relationships, and quality of life.
What Our FMO3 Gene Test Detects
Our advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology examines the FMO3 gene with exceptional accuracy. This comprehensive analysis identifies specific genetic mutations that prevent your body from properly breaking down trimethylamine – the compound responsible for the characteristic odour. Unlike basic tests, our NGS approach provides detailed insights into your genetic makeup, giving you definitive answers about your condition.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you experience any of these symptoms, our FMO3 gene test could provide life-changing clarity:
- Persistent body odour that resembles fish, despite excellent hygiene
- Odour that worsens after eating certain foods (eggs, fish, beans)
- Social anxiety or relationship difficulties due to body odour concerns
- Family history of similar symptoms across generations
- Previous misdiagnoses or ineffective treatments for body odour
Why This Test Matters for Your Health Journey
Getting an accurate diagnosis transforms uncertainty into actionable knowledge. Our FMO3 gene test provides:
- Definitive Answers: End the cycle of guesswork and misdiagnosis
- Personalised Management: Develop targeted dietary and lifestyle strategies
- Family Planning Insights: Understand inheritance patterns for future generations
- Emotional Relief: Replace shame and isolation with understanding and control
- Medical Validation: Confirm your condition is genetic, not personal hygiene-related

- Explain your results in clear, understandable language
