Deficiency of biotinidase affects carboxylase enzymes causing dermatological, neurological, immunological or Ophthalmological complications. Biotinidase deficiency is known inborn error of metabolism having a prevalence of 1: 60,000 live births. We are presenting a case of biotinidase deficiency detected and diagnosed at our center.
