Maple Syrup urine Disease
 * Description: **
 * MSUD is a deadly disorder that affects the way the body breaks down three amino acids( Eucine, isocline, and Valine) that when not broken down they're not being used to build a protein they get broken down and used as energy. **


 * Inheritance: **
 * MSUD is inherited in a pattern, for a child to get the disease he or she must inherit a defective copy of the gene from a parent. If both parents have the disease each child has as a 25% chance of getting the disorder. And will have a 50% chance of becoming a carrier of MSUD. **


 * Symptoms: **
 * There are classic form of MSUD and several less common forms. However, all subtypes of the disorder can be caused by mutations in any of the 6 genes used to build the BCKD protein comple **.
