Biotinidase deficiency and holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency are rare inherited metabolic disorders affecting young children. Early biotin treatment is crucial to prevent severe health issues and developmental problems.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Genetics
  • Pediatrics

Context:

  • Biotin metabolism disorders, including biotinidase deficiency and holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency, impact children under two.
  • These conditions lead to multiple carboxylase deficiency, affecting critical metabolic pathways like fatty acid synthesis and gluconeogenesis.

Purpose:

  • To present two cases of biotinidase deficiency and two of holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency.
  • To review literature on these biotin metabolism disorders.
  • To discuss diagnostic and screening strategies for early intervention.

Summary:

  • Biotinidase deficiency and holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency are autosomal recessive disorders causing multiple carboxylase deficiency in young children.
  • Clinical manifestations vary widely, affecting multiple organ systems and complicating diagnosis.

  • Early diagnosis and biotin supplementation are vital to prevent mortality and irreversible neurological damage.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of early diagnosis and biotin treatment for biotin metabolism disorders.
    • Suggests enhanced metabolic screening for at-risk infants.
    • Emphasizes the need for timely intervention to improve outcomes in affected children.
