We report the case of a child with partial biotinidase deficiency and autistic developmental disorder. We arrived at the diagnosis of biotinidase deficiency when the child was almost 4 years of age. Consequently, he began cofactor biotin treatment (10 mg daily) which did not resolve his autistic behavior. His younger brother was affected by partial biotinidase deficiency diagnosed at birth through our neonatal screening program. He was precociously treated with cofactor biotin therapy (10 mg daily) and did not show any behavioral abnormality or developmental delay. Since the brain is quite vulnerable to biotin deficiency, delayed biotin therapy could result in neurological damage. Our patient is the first case of partial biotinidase deficiency associated with autism. We hypothesize that the low biotinidase activity could have caused biotin deficiency in his brain and cerebrospinal fluids and consequently serious neurological problems, such as stereotyped and autistic behaviors, which were irreversible in spite of biotin supplementation. | Translation - Italian Neuropsychol Dev Cogn Sect C Child Neuropsychol. 2003 Sep;9(3):184-8.

Riferiamo il caso di un bambino con deficit parziale di biotinidasi e disturbo dello sviluppo di tipo autistico. Siamo arrivati alla diagnosi di deficit di biotinidasi quando il paziente aveva un'età di quasi 4 anni. Di conseguenza, il paziente ha iniziato il trattamento con il cofattore biotina (10 mg/die), che però non ha risolto il suo comportamento autistico. Il fratello più giovane era anch'egli affetto da deficit parziale di biotinidasi, diagnosticato alla nascita grazie al nostro programma di screening neonatale. Il paziente è stato sottoposto a terapia precoce con cofattore biotina (10 mg/die), e non ha mostrato alcuna anomalia comportamentale, né ritardi nello sviluppo. Poiché il cervello è alquanto vulnerabile al deficit di biotina, un ritardo nella terapia con biotina potrebbe causare un danno neurologico. Il nostro paziente è il primo caso di deficit parziale di biotinidasi associato ad autismo. Ipotizziamo che la bassa attività della biotinidasi possa aver causato il deficit di biotina a livello cerebrale e nel fluido cerebrospinale e, di conseguenza, gravi problemi neurologici, come i comportamenti stereotipati e autistici, che si sono rivelati irreversibili nonostante l’integrazione con biotina. | More Less | | Other - CTI - Technical Translation Master – Medicine and Pharmacology (En>It) for Translators and Interpreters | | Years of translation experience: 12.
