MSUD

Fortress Diagnostics manufactures, develops and supplies an extensive range of high quality neonatal screening tests for the detection of inborn errors of metabolism. 

Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an inborn error of metabolism detectable by neonatal screening. Deficiency of the branched-chain 2-keto acid dehydrogenase leads to the accumulation of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) leucine, valine, isoleucine, and alloisoleucine.
