- W1963077573 abstract "Classical Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) is a disease of infancy which is an inherited disorder of metabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). The BCAA are normally transaminated to branched-chain keto acids (BCKA). However, the enzyme required to metabolize the BCKA is deficient, resulting in elevation of both, the BCAA and the BCKA. One of the BCAA (isoleucine) produces a metabolite that causes the urine to smell like maple syrup. The elevations of the BCAA and BCKA are associated with an acute, critical neurotoxic condition often prior to the age of two weeks. The clinical state, the electroencephalogram-(EEG), and plasma BCAA levels were evaluated in 26 patients with classical and variant MSUD. Patients were seen from the time of diagnosis, often within a week after birth, and some were followed clinically for more than 20 years while on specific diet therapy. They were monitored by plasma BCAA (leucine, isoleucine and valine) levels and a total of 101 EEGs were performed during different phases of their illness. During periods of acute metabolic decompensation, there were marked clinical symptoms of neurotoxicity including opisthotonos, seizures, and coma with elevated BCAA plasma levels. The EEGs revealed spikes, polyspikes, spike-wave complexes, triphasic waves, severe slowing and bursts of periodic suppression. Occasionally paradoxical EEG arousal was noted while the patient was lethargic. During asymptomatic periods when the plasma BCAA were at low or normal levels, EEG abnormalities occurred in patients with and without residual neurological deficit. These observations included rolandic sharp waves (comb-like rhythm) which were observed in 7 of 15 patients less than two months of age. Additionally, paroxysmal spike and spike-wave response to photic stimuli were observed in 9 of 17 patients. Loading tests were performed on three patients. Clinical and EEG changes were most marked after leucine. Less dramatic EEG changes also occurred with the other two BCAA loads but without clinical manifestations. Elevation of the appropriate BCAA plasma level occurred after each load. These studies and a review of the literature suggest that one component of the pathophysiological mechanism for the acute neurotoxic effects in this disorder is related to a defect in glutamate, glutamine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) production. The BCAAs are transaminated to BCKAs. Further metabolism of the BCKAs are blocked because of enzyme deficiency required for decarboxylation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)" @default.
