To investigate the clinical and neurodevelopmental profiles of patients with biotinidase deficiency and to determine the efficacy of current therapy with respect to outcome.
METHODS
Six patients aged from 3 months to 14 years with biotinidase deficiency were confirmed by urinary organic

OBJECTIVE
Multiple carboxylase deficiency (MCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder. MCD is characterized by skin rash, metabolic acidosis, vomiting and psychomotor retardation. Depending on deficiency of the enzyme, MCD includes two different forms, biotinidase deficiency (BTD, OMIM 253260) and
The clinical and biochemical findings in a family with late-onset holocarboxylase synthetase (HCS) deficiency are described. The index patient had two life-threatening episodes of metabolic decompensation at the age of 13 and 18 months with ketotic hypoglycaemia, vomiting and progressive loss of
Holocarboxylase synthetase (HCS) is responsible for the biotinylation of pyruvate carboxylase, propionyl coenzyme A (CoA) carboxylase, beta-methylcrotonoyl CoA carboxylase, and acetyl CoA carboxylase. We report on a patient with HCS deficiency resulting in a rare metabolic disease. The patient, a
