Hyperleucinosis during infections in maple syrup urine disease post liver transplantation
Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is due to biallelic variants in one of the three genes: BCKDHA, BCKDHB, and DBT. Branched-chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex deficiency and elevated leucine, valine, isoleucine and alloisoleucine in body fluids ...

Maple Syrup Urine Disease Complicated with Kyphoscoliosis and Myelopathy
Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an autosomal recessive aminoacidopathy secondary to an enzyme defect in the catabolic pathway of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs: leucine, isoleucine, and valine).
