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

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. |

::Who's Torrianitrad?::
I am an Italian mother tongue, free-lance professional translator, specialized in English>Italian translations on medical and fashion texts (among other things); I love to communicate via the Internet, foreign languages, and new technologies.

Before starting to work as a translator I also worked for a sales office, in a logistics department (also dealing with ISO 9000 regulations), a translation agency, and a congress center.
My specializations are:
Medical / pharmaceutical texts (package leaflets; summaries of product characteristics; protocols; papers about rare metabolic diseases, autism, oncology, dentistry, epidemiology; work medicine) EN>IT;
Technical (ISO 9000 regulations, work safety, textile industry, manuals, instructions booklets) EN>IT;
Fashion (press packs for some important fashion designers);
Interior Design (company literature);
Viticulture/wine-making
