Abstract excerpt
Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a deficiency in subunits of the branched-chain alpha-keto-acid dehydrogenase complex (BCKDH). To characterize the mutations present in five patients with MSUD (four classic and one intermediate), three-step analyses were established: (1), identification of the involved subunit by complementation analysis using three different cell lines...
