Hi,

Isovaleric acidemia is an inherited condition and since your baby had it, it means both you and your partner are career of the gene that causes it.
You have a 25% chance of having another baby with Isovaleric acidemia.
That means there is 3 in 4 chance that the baby will be fine.

I would advise you to visit a genetic counsellor before you consider your next pregnancy.They can guide you regarding the implications of an
affected pregnancy and also the tests you could take during your pregnancy
Hope this helps
Regards.
