The following amino acids are excreted in urine in maple syrup disease, EXCEPT:

The biochemical defect in maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) involves the alpha-keto acid decarboxylase complex. Plasma and urinary levels of leucine, isoleucine, valine, and their -keto acids and -hydroxy acids (reduced alpha-keto acids) are elevated, but the urinary ketoacids derive principally from leucine. Signs and symptoms of MSUD include often fatal ketoacidosis, neurological derangements, mental retardation, and a maple syrup odor of urine. Ref: Rodwell V.W. (2011). Chapter 29.
