Why is this test Biotinidase Deficiency (BTD) Gene Analysis Test taken?

Reasons for taking Biotinidase Deficiency (BTD) Gene Analysis Test

Biotinidase Deficiency (BTD) is an inherited disorder that affects the body's ability to process biotin, a B vitamin that is important for various bodily functions. This test is taken to diagnose individuals who may have BTD or are at risk of developing it.

Some of the reasons for taking this test include:

  • Screening newborns: The BTD gene analysis test is often included in newborn screening programs to identify infants who may have BTD and require early treatment.
  • Diagnosing symptoms: Individuals who exhibit symptoms of BTD, such as seizures, skin rash, and developmental delays, may undergo this test to confirm the diagnosis.
  • Family history: If there is a family history of BTD or if a close family member has been diagnosed with the condition, individuals may choose to undergo genetic testing to determine their risk.
  • Preventive measures: Knowing one's genetic risk for BTD can help individuals take preventive measures, such as starting biotin supplements early, to manage the condition effectively.
