Abstract excerpt
Maple syrup urine disease results from defects in the branched chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex. Cells from seven German, three Turkish, and two Italian families including five consanguineous matings were analyzed for the causative mutations. Enzyme assays were used to confirm the initi...
