Although six genes (BCKDHA, BCKDHB, BCKDK, DBT, DLD and PPM1K) involved in BCAA metabolism have been reported, MSUD is predominantly caused by mutations in the BCKDHA, BCKDHB, and DBT genes encoding the E1α, E1β, and E2 subunits of the BCKD complex, respectively [11]. This evidence concerns the gene BCKDK and maple syrup urine disease.
