AB It  is  an  inherited  disease  caused  by  malabsorption  of  methionine  and  secondary  malabsorption  of  other  amino  acids.  The  unabsorbed  methionine  is  converted  to  α-hydroxybutyric  acid  by  intestinal  bacteria.  Urine  has  characteristic  smell  of  dried  malt.  Clinical  characteristics  include  mental  retardation,  seizures,  white  hair,  diarrhea,  and  episodes  of  generalized  edema.
