The Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) Gene Panel by NGS analyzes genes involved in branched-chain amino acid metabolism, helping detect inherited defects that lead to toxic buildup of leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Using an EDTA blood sample, this test identifies mutations responsible for classic, intermediate, or variant forms of MSUD. Metropolis Healthcare uses advanced next-generation sequencing to ensure accurate and comprehensive variant detection. The results assist in early diagnosis, dietary planning, and timely clinical management
