Please, we will greatly appreciate any information about Maple Syrup
Urinary Disease, which is a metabolic illness due to an enzyme
deficiency in the metabolismo of amino acids: valine, leucine and
isoleucine.
Anything related to ethiology, diagnosis, and therapy is really
important for us, because we have a friend whose 5-year old daughter
is suffering that disease. They live in Valparaiso, Chile.
