Your risk for having any form of MSUD depends on whether your parents are carriers of the disease. If both parents are carriers, their child has a:

25 percent chance of receiving two mutated genes and having MSUD
50 percent chance for receiving only one defective gene and being a carrier
25 percent chance of receiving one normal gene from each parent
