Maple Syrup Urine

Maple Syrup Urine disease is due to specific protien and amino acid building blocks not being able to process properly. It can be recived through generations, and is produced through malnourishment or developemental delay. When the person urinates, the urine produces a sweet odor and is usually darker colored than normal urine. If left untreated, the disease could be potentially deadly. Milder forms of the disease can involve mental and/or physical retardation.
