Branched Chain Amino Acids Isoleucine Valine Leucine
Catabolism • Transamination • Oxidative Decarboxylation* • Dehydrogenation • End products * Enzyme responsible: Branched-chain α-ketoaciddehydrogenase
Branched-chain α-ketoaciddehydrogenase • A complex enzyme system using tyrosine pyrophosphate (Vit B1) as coenzyme • A mitochondrial enzyme consisting of four subunits E1α,E1β, E2,E3 • Deficiency of this ensyme causes Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD)
MSUD • Named after sweet odor of maple syrup found in body fluids, esp. urine • 5 phenotypes have been identified based on clinical findings and response to thiamine • 1. Classic MSUD • 2. Intermittent MSUD • 3. Mild (Intermediate) MSUD • 4. Thiamine-responsive MSUD • 5. MSUD due to deficiency in E3 subunit
Classic MSUD • Clinical: • 1st week: poor feeding and vomiting lethargy coma • Convulsions occur in most infants • Labs: metabolic acidosis
Classic MSUD • Diagnosis: • Definitive: Amino acid analysis shows ↑ leucine, isoleucine, valine • Peculiar odor of maple syrup in urine, sweat, and cerumen • Urine: (+) amino acids and their respective ketoacids • Qualitative test: • Add 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine reagent (0.1% in 0.1 N HCl) to urine • Formation of a yellow precipitate (2,4-dihydrophenylhydrazone) yields a positive test • Hypomyelination may be seen in neuroimaging
Classic MSUD • Treatment: • In acute phase: • Adequate hydration • Quick removal of metabolites via Peritoneal Dialysis • Response: significant ↓plasma levels w/n 24 hrs • May develop cerebral edema, treated with mannitol • After acute phase: • Diet low on branched chain amino acids • Remain on diet for the rest of their lives • Liver transplant shows promising results
Classic MSUD • Prognosis: • Prognosis remains guarded • May develop the following in stressful conditions (infection/surgery) • Severe ketoacidosis, cerebral edema, death • Mental and neurologic deficits are common sequelae
Genetics of MSUD • Autosomal recessive • Prevalence of 1 / 185,000 • Classic form is more prevalent
