Two forms of biotin-responsive multiple carboxylase deficiency. 1981

L Sweetman

Biotin-responsive multiple carboxylase deficiencies are classified into early and late forms. The early form showed higher urinary excretion of 3-hydroxyisovalerate and 3-hydroxypropionate than the late form and was associated with normal plasma biotin concentrations. It is proposed that holocarboxylase synthetase and intestinal biotin absorption are defective in the early and late forms respectively.

D002908	Chronic Disease	Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed).
