Maple+Urine+Disease-VictorV

Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MUSD) **Description: ** Maple Syrup Urine Disease is an inherited disorder. The body is not able to process certain proteins. It is very rare to get the disease but the way you may possibly get it during birth. It is cause by genetic mutation which prevents the body from breaking down amino acids. **Inheritance: ** The condition is inherited in a non sex linked disease. This means both copies of the gene in each cell have mutations the parents of the individual with a non sex linked disease condition, each carry one copy of the mutated gene. But it shows no signs symptoms of the disease. **Symptoms: ** the symptoms of MUSD is of the following avoiding food and feeding difficulties, seizures the urine will smell like maple syrup and vomiting and if not treated fast possibly death may occur. **Daily Life: ** media type="custom" key="9523618"
