Summary
Intermittent branched‐chain ketoaciduria was detected in two Norwegian families. All three patients had normal intelligence. One died during an acute acidotic attack at the age of 8 years.
The biochemical and clinical data in the two families suggest a separate variant of branched chain ketoaciduria. Possible mechanisms of genetic heterogeneity in this disorder are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
