Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: To report two novel mutations in the BCKDHB gene with Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) and compare their data with 52 cases of MSUD reported in the available Chinese literature.
METHODS: Clinical data of a case of a newborn with MSUD was retrospectively studied. Literatures on MSUD in the local medical journals from January 1990 till December 2019 in China were reviewed.
RESULTS: Two novel BCKDHB mutations c.90_91insCTGGCGCGGGG (p.Phe35TrpfsTer41) and c.80_90del (p.Ala32PhefsTer48) were identified. We found a total of 52 cases of MSUD reports so far. A total of 49 cases had the symptom of poor feeding (94.2%), 50 cases showed poor responses to stimulation (96.2%), 21 cases had odor of maple syrup (40.3%), 29 cases had seizures (55.7%), and 13 cases had respiratory failure (25.0%). The average of the blood ammonia was 127.2 ± 75.0 μmol/L. A total of 18 cases reported the gene testing, among of them 9 cases of BCKDHA mutations, 6 cases of BCKDHB mutations, and 2 cases of DBT mutations. A total of 13 cases (25%) were treated with mechanical ventilation, 50 cases (96.2%) with protein-restricted diet and l-carnitine, 29 cases with thiamine, and only 2 cases were treated with blood purification. Finally, 19 patients (36.5%) were died, 21 cases (40.4%) were improved after treatments.
CONCLUSIONS: The clinical phenotype of neonatal MSUD in China belongs to the classical type currently. Suspected patients should have blood or urine branched-chain amino acid levels tested and brain MRI as early as possible to enable early diagnosis, thus improvement in prognosis.
