HOW COMMON IS BIOTINIDASE DEFICIENCY?
Biotinidase deficiency is very rare.
Biotinidase deficiency is a rare metabolic disorder. Only about 1 in
60,000 babies is born with profound or partial biotinidase
deficiency. Although you may feel very alone having a child with
biotinidase deficiency, there are many other families who share your
concerns. Worldwide, more than 150 children have been diagnosed with
this condition because they developed symptoms, and more than 300
children have been diagnosed by newborn screening.
