Preferred Label : Maple syrup urine disease, type ia;
Symbol : MSUD1A;
CISMeF acronym : MSUD; MSUD1A; MSUD1B; MSUD2;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Branched-chain ketoaciduria; Branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase deficiency; Bckd deficiency; Keto acid decarboxylase deficiency; MSUD; Maple syrup urine disease;
Description : The major clinical features of maple syrup urine disease are mental and physical retardation,
feeding problems, and a maple syrup odor to the urine. The keto acids of the branched-chain
amino acids are present in the urine, resulting from a block in oxidative decarboxylation.
There are 5 clinical subtypes of MSUD: the 'classic' neonatal severe form, an 'intermediate'
form, an 'intermittent' form, a 'thiamine-responsive' form, and an 'E3-deficient with
lactic acidosis' form (246900). All of these subtypes can be caused by mutations in
any of the 4 genes mentioned above, except for the E3-deficient form, which is caused
only by mutation in the E3 gene (Chuang and Shih, 2001).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the branched chain keto acid dehydrogenase E1, alpha polypeptide
gene (BCKDHA, 608348.0001); Caused by mutation in the dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase gene (DLD, 238331.0001); Caused by mutation in the branched chain keto acid dehydrogenase E1, beta polypeptide
gene (BCKDHB, 248611.0001); Caused by mutation in the dihydrolipoamide branched chain transacylase gene (DBT,
248610.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Elevated plasma branched chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine); Maple syrup urine odor; Branched chain ketoaciduria (alpha-keto isocaproate, alpha-keto-beta methylisovalerate,
alpha-keto isovalerate); Elevated plasma alloisoleucine; Positive urine DNPH screening test;
