BCAAs, which are three essential amino acids called leucine, valine, and isoleucine, are meant to help increase muscle mass in people who are interested in bodybuilding, though some scientists believe this claim to be "unwarranted." Now, research in mice goes even further, suggesting that a diet that is high in BCCA-containing protein but relatively low in other essential nutrients can have many negative effects on long-term health and lifespan.

Most of these alterations are heterozygous, locus c.76 in exon 3 is transversion with homozygous (G) variant in one of the mammary and CTVT samples, which is missense in nature and alter the leucine amino acid to valine. Similarly, c.356 locus in exon 5 is homozygous (C), that is also a transversion, which changed the lysine residue to threonine.
