Disease
IVD_HUMAN Defects in IVD are the cause of isovaleric acidemia (IVA) [MIM:243500. IVA is characterized by retarded psychomotor development, a peculiar odor resembling sweaty feet, an aversion to dietary protein, and pernicious vomiting, leading to acidosis and coma. The acute neonatal form leads to massive metabolic acidosis from the first days of life and rapid death.[1] [2]
