Abstract excerpt
Maple Syrup Urine Disease is a rare metabolic disorder caused by reduced/absent activity of the branched chain α-Ketoacid dehydrogenase enzyme complex. Mutations in BCKDHA, BCKDHB, and DBT, that encode important subunits of the enzyme complex namely E1α, E1β, and E2, are the primary cause for the disease. We have performed the first molecular genetic analysis of MSUD from India on nine patients exhibiting...
