What is Biotinidase Deficiency?

Biotinidase (BTD) deficiency is an inherited genetic disorder affecting the biotin vitamin recycling ability. The BTD gene coded for the production of biotinidase enzyme which responsible for helping the body reuse and recycle the biotin found in foods. Deficiency of BTD leads to decrease of biotin’s bioavailability, increased biotin excretion through urine and impaired biotin recycling. Early diagnosis and treatment of BTD deficiency is crucial to reduce the risk of irreversible neurological damage.

Symptoms

Possible Inheritance Modes for Biotinidase Deficiency

There is one inheritance mode of Biotinidase Deficiency. Inheritance mode is how a gene will be passed down from parent to offspring.

Autosomal Recessive

The mutated gene is a recessive gene located on one of the non-sex chromosomes (autosomes). You can get the disease if inheritance both copies of abnormal mutation from your parent.
