An autosomal recessive inherited disorder with multiple forms of phenotypic expression,
caused by a defect in the oxidative decarboxylation of branched-chain amino acids
(AMINO ACIDS, BRANCHED-CHAIN). These metabolites accumulate in body fluids and render
a "maple syrup" odor. The disease is divided into classic, intermediate, intermittent,
and thiamine responsive subtypes. The classic form presents in the first week of life
with ketoacidosis, hypoglycemia, emesis, neonatal seizures, and hypertonia. The intermediate
and intermittent forms present in childhood or later with acute episodes of ataxia
and vomiting. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p936)
