Chapter
Two inherited defects affecting the coenzyme function of biotin are known: holocarboxylase synthetase (HCS) deficiency and biotinidase deficiency. Both lead to deficiency of all biotin-dependent carboxylases, ...

Chapter
Hyperornithinaemia due to ornithine aminotransferase (OAT) deficiency results from loss of function mutations in OAT and causes gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina (GA), a progressive retinal degeneration. T...

Two inherited defects in biotin metabolism are known: holocarboxylase synthetase (HCS) deficiency and biotinidase deficiency. Both lead to deficiency of all biotindependent carboxylases, i.e. to multiple carboxyl...
Chapter
Hyperornithinemia due to ornithine aminotransferase (OAT) deficiency is associated with gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina. Patients usually become virtually blind by age 55. Treatment...
