Trimethylaminuria is a rare metabolic disorder in which the body cannot properly metabolize trimethylamine, leading to a distinctive fishy odor in breath, sweat, and urine. It results from defective activity of the enzyme flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3). The term combines chemical prefixes and the suffix indicating a condition, reflecting its biochemical origin and clinical usage in medical literature.
