L-2-Hydroxyglutaric aciduria: an inborn error of metabolism?

abstract：:Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an autosomal recessive inherited disease due to a deficiency of any of the subunits, E1 alpha, E1 beta or E2, of the branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex (BCKDH). A large Mennonite kindred of MSUD has been studied in Pennsylvania, USA. In the present investigation, ge...
