WHAT DOES BIOTINIDASE MEAN?
Deficiency of this enzyme is a disease caused by the lack of recycling of vitamin biotin in the body. It is expressed as a hereditary disease. Diagnosis and treatment of this deficiency is very important. This deficiency becomes very obvious towards childhood when it is noticed in the first months of babies.
Early diagnosis of this deficiency is also very important in the treatment of operations. Because the delay in treatment and diagnosis can cause neurological problems, as well as sometimes lead to loss of life. For this reason, this screening of babies born in our country is performed and intervention is started immediately. It is easy to treat the disease diagnosed at an early stage, and this vitamin called biotin begins to be given to the body by mouth. This form of treatment can continue for many years, even for life. At this stage, the state of development of babies begins to be observed.
