Table 2. Annotation of mQTL-driven 1H NMR-detectable metabolites.

ID Data Set Peak ppm Interval Metabolite Formula
TMAu Urine Standard 1d (2.857 - 2.87)a trimethylamine C3H9N
N-ACu Urine Standard 1d (2.034 - 2.042) N-acetylated compound(s) X.NH.CO.CH3 b
BAIBu Urine Standard 1d (1.185 - 1.191) 3-amino-isobutyrate CH3.CH.(CH2.NH2).COOH
DMAp Plasma Spin-Echo (2.7 - 2.724) dimethylamine (CH3)2.NH
a

We observed frequency shifts in TMA peaks between the MolTWIN and MolOBB data sets, attributable to inter-study differences in experimental conditions, such as sample pH or temperature. To align the peaks across cohorts, a different peak interval was used for TMAu in the MolOBB data: (2.86 – 2.88).

b

The metabolite was partially identified as an N-acetylated compound: X.NH.CO.CH3, with X unknown.
