Green List (high evidence)

AR maple syrup urine disease type 1a - caused by variants in BCKDHA, BCKDHB and DBT. Major clinical features are mental and physical retardation, feeding problems and a maple syrup odour to urine. Classic MSUD - symptoms from 4-7 dys. Seizures and coma usually occur followed by death if untreated. All 3 genes have been assoc with classic MSUD and variants reported in them as pathogenic.
