Genomic newborn screening: ICoNS v0.31 BCKDHB Zornitza Stark Marked gene: BCKDHB as ready
Genomic newborn screening: ICoNS v0.31 BCKDHB Zornitza Stark Gene: bckdhb has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
Genomic newborn screening: ICoNS v0.31 BCKDHB Zornitza Stark Phenotypes for gene: BCKDHB were changed from to Maple syrup urine disease, type Ib, MIM# 248600
Genomic newborn screening: ICoNS v0.30 BCKDHB Zornitza Stark Classified gene: BCKDHB as Green List (high evidence)
Genomic newborn screening: ICoNS v0.30 BCKDHB Zornitza Stark Gene: bckdhb has been classified as Green List (High Evidence).
Genomic newborn screening: ICoNS v0.29 BCKDHB Zornitza Stark reviewed gene: BCKDHB: Rating: GREEN; Mode of pathogenicity: None; Publications: ; Phenotypes: Maple syrup urine disease, type Ib, MIM# 248600; Mode of inheritance: BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Genomic newborn screening: ICoNS v0.29 BCKDHB José Manuel González de Aledo Castillo gene: BCKDHB was added
gene: BCKDHB was added to Genomic newborn screening: ICoNS. Sources: Expert Review,Literature
Mode of inheritance for gene: BCKDHB was set to BIALLELIC, autosomal or pseudoautosomal
Added comment: Gene disease association evidence:

Disease: Maple syrup urine disease type 1A (MSUD1B), autosomal recessive.
Gene: BCKDHB encodes the E1β subunit of the branched-chain α-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex. Loss of function at the protein level reduces BCKD activity and causes toxic accumulation of branched-chain amino acids and ketoacids. BCKDHB variants account for ~35% of MSUD cases

Curation by ClinGen:
ClinGen gene–disease validity: Definitive

Treatability and evidence behind that including impact of treatment:
Standard care is dietary leucine restriction, BCAA-free supplements, supplementation with isoleucine and valine as needed, and frequent biochemical monitoring. Acute metabolic crises need urgent metabolic management.
Early treatment of asymptomatic infants detected by NBS means that most who would have developed neonatal manifestations remain asymptomatic with good treatment adherence . NBS cases has better survival than clinically diagnosed cases: 62.5% versus 5.2%
For severe MSUD, liver transplantation can be an option

Issues with genomic screening
Main problem would be turnaround time

Any variants of interest
The pathogenic spectrum is dominated by missense variants, also there also reported truncating variants.
c.548G>C (p.Arg183Pro): well-known Ashkenazi Jewish founder variant.

Who has excluded in genomic newborn screening it and why:
BeginNGS in previous genelists, now included

Traditional newborn screening in any jurisdiction:
Included in RUSP and most NBS wordlwide
