Newborn screening for biotinidase deficiency in Brazil: biochemical and molecular characterizations.
Biotinidase deficiency is an inherited metabolic disorder characterized by neurological and cutaneous symptoms. Fortunately, it can be treated and the symptoms prevented by oral administration of the vitamin biotin. Using dried blood-soaked filter paper cards, biotinidase activity was determined in the sera of 225,136 newborns in Brazil. Mutation analysis performed on DNA from 21 babies with lo...
Biotinidase deficiency is an inherited disorder in which the vitamin biotin is not recycled. If untreated, affected individuals develop neurological and cutaneous symptoms. Untreated individuals with biotinidase deficiency either succumb to disease or are left with significant morbidity. We describe clinical course and follow-up of 4 children from Pakistan. All 4 presented with classical sympto...
We report the case of a child with partial biotinidase deficiency and autistic developmental disorder. We arrived at the diagnosis of biotinidase deficiency when the child was almost 4 years of age. Consequently, he began cofactor biotin treatment (10 mg daily) which did not resolve his autistic behavior. His younger brother was affected by partial biotinidase deficiency diagnosed at birth thro...
Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin and co-factor for activation of carboxylases apoenzymes. Biotinidase enzyme is essential for release of biotin from apoenzymes. Absence of biotinidase is an autosomal recessive trait with a prevalence of 1 in 60000. Clinical manifestations of biotinidase deficiency include dermatitis, alopecia, seizures, hypotonia, developmental delay, hearing loss, visual impa...
We report a patient with biotinidase deficiency with peculiar findings on her MRI brain. Subcortical cysts combined with Dandy Walker cyst on the brain MRI have never been reported. There are many documented case reports of biotinidase deficiency and several of them have included findings on neuroimaging. Subcortical cysts have been documented in one patient with biotinidase deficiency previous...
Introduction Biotinidase deficiency is a life threatening inborn error of metabolism specially when delayed in diagnosis. We report a 2-month-old male infant that presented with refractory infantile spasm, alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis. With a high suspicion of the biotinidase deficiency we started biotin 10 mg daily orally before definite diagnosis was made. Rapid treatment was life-savin...
We reviewed the outcome of newborn screening for biotinidase deficiency performed at our department since 1987. Among 1,097,894 newborns screened, 461 were recalled, and 18 were identified as affected by complete or partial biotinidase deficiency (incidence 1:61,000, false positive rate 0.04%). The common missense mutation Q456H was found in 80% of patients with profound biotinidase deficiency....

BACKGROUND Many patients experience recurrent or persistent episodes of vaginal candidiasis. Some of these women might be carriers of an inborn error of biotin metabolism (either biotinidase deficiency or holocarboxylase synthetase activity). These women might benefit from administration of pharmacologic amounts of biotin. CASE A 38-year-old gravida 2, para 2 carrier of biotinidase deficiency...
