Footnotes

  • BIO = Biotinidase deficiency
  • Biotinidase is the enzyme that recycles the vitamin biotin. An inherited deficiency of this enzyme may cause serious complications, including frequent infections, uncoordinated movement, hearing loss, seizures, and mental retardation. Undiagnosed and untreated, the deficiency can lead to coma and death. If the condition is detected soon after birth, these problems can be completely prevented with daily oral doses of biotin.
