What does this test Biotinidase Test identify?

  • Biotinidase Test:
  • The Biotinidase Test is a blood test that helps identify individuals with biotinidase deficiency, a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to recycle the vitamin biotin.
  • Biotinidase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in releasing biotin from proteins in food and making it available for the body to use. In individuals with biotinidase deficiency, the enzyme is either missing or not working properly, leading to a buildup of biotin in the body and a deficiency of free biotin.
  • Untreated biotinidase deficiency can cause a range of symptoms, including poor growth, developmental delays, seizures, skin rash, and hair loss. If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications such as vision problems, hearing loss, and neurological issues.
  • The Biotinidase Test is used to screen newborns for biotinidase deficiency, as early detection and treatment with biotin supplements can help prevent or minimize the symptoms associated with the disorder.

Why is this test Biotinidase Test taken?

The Biotinidase Test is taken to diagnose biotinidase deficiency, which is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to recycle biotin. Biotin is a B-vitamin that is essential for the metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Individuals with biotinidase deficiency are unable to properly use biotin, leading to a range of symptoms including seizures, developmental delays, skin rashes, and hair loss.

The test measures the activity of the biotinidase enzyme in the blood. Low levels of biotinidase activity indicate a deficiency, while normal levels suggest that the individual is not affected by the disorder. Early diagnosis and treatment of biotinidase deficiency are crucial to prevent serious complications and improve the quality of life for affected individuals.
