2-Methylbutyryl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency (2MBCD)
The gene defect for 2-Methylbutyryl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency
is an autosomal recessive genetic trait and is unknowingly passed
down from generation to generation. This faulty gene only emerges
when two carriers have children together and pass it to their
offspring. For each pregnancy of two such carriers, there is
a 25% chance that the child will be born with the disease and
a 50% chance the child will be a carrier for the gene defect
