Maple syrup urine disease is an inherited disorder in which the body cannot process certain amino acids. The condition comes from the distinctive sweet odor of an affected infant's urine. Early diagnosis is important because maple syrup urine disease can lead to seizures, coma, and death if left untreated. Maple Syrup Urine Disease affects an estimated 1 in 185,000 infants worldwide. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern with mutations in several genes, including BCKDHA, BCKDHB, and DBT. (NIH, genetics home reference)
