Extractions: (advertisement) Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: biotin, carboxylase, carboxylase deficiency, egg-white injury, egg-white syndrome, egg-white injury syndrome, biotinidase deficiency, inherited biotinidase deficiency Background: Biotin deficiency is a rare nutritional disorder caused by a deficiency of the water-soluble B vitamin termed biotin. In this article, biotin deficiency resulting from deficiency of the enzyme biotinidase is discussed (see also Biotinidase Deficiency Biotin deficiency rarely, if ever, occurs in healthy individuals who consume a regular diet unless they are being treated either with certain anticonvulsants or with broad-spectrum antibiotics. The extremely low incidence of biotin deficiency probably is the result of a combination of factors. First, the daily requirement for biotin is low at approximately 150-300 m g/d. Second, significant quantities of biotin are found in almost all foods, and many widely consumed foods are relatively rich in biotin. Third, the intestinal flora synthesizes significant quantities of biotin, and at least a portion of that biotin is believed to be absorbed into the bloodstream. Fourth, a significant fraction of the body's biotin is recycled, that is, a given molecule of biotin may be used repeatedly before it is eventually lost from the body in the feces or urine. Pathophysiology: History Biotin was first recognized as an essential nutrient factor in mammals in 1936. Ten years earlier, the inclusion of large amounts of raw egg whites in experimental diets in rats had produced symptoms of toxicity. The symptoms appeared within a few weeks of initiation of the diet containing raw egg whites. In 1926, Boas referred to these symptoms of toxicity as egg-white injury syndrome. The major findings included severe dermatitis, loss of hair, and lack of muscular coordination. Boas also noted that yeast, liver, and several other foodstuffs contained a substance that protected rats from egg-white injury syndrome. Later, the protective compound in the foodstuffs was identified as biotin.

Extractions: PCC Deficiencies The PCC was established by the Kentucky Council on Post-Secondary Education for all students seeking admission to Kentucky State Universities. If you have any PCC deficiencies that are checked on the Status of Admission Form, you are required to take the prescribed courses within your first year at NKU. You are NOT eligible to take a placement test for a PCC deficiency. Your advisor will assist you in scheduling the appropriate course work. ACT or SAT Deficiencies If you have an ACT or SAT deficiency in English, Math and/or Reading, you may be eligible for placement tests. If you are eligible for placement testing and choose not to test, you will be required to take the appropriate developmental (pre-college) course work.

PCC Diagnostics Service PLEASE DON'T SEND US A PRINT (FAX) COPY OF THIS FORM! Enzyme analysisfor propionic acidemia due to pcc deficiency. Our service http://www.uchsc.edu/sm/cbs/diagnostic/diagn_pcc.htm
Extractions: Our service includes culturing of patient-derived skin fibroblasts to a sufficient density to allow for several assays of propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) activity. As an internal control we perform beta-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase (MCC) activity assays. An inclusion of skin fibroblast culture from at least one of the parents may make it possible to determine whether the pathogenic mutation occurred in the alpha or beta subunit of the enzyme. Sample transport information. Please call Dr. Jan P. Kraus at (303)-315-7858 prior to shipping. For analysis we require two 25 cm3 flasks of skin fibroblasts completely filled with medium and with the caps tightly sealed and wrapped with a layer of parafilm. The culture medium we recommend is MEM supplemented with 10-15 % serum, 100U/ml penicillin-G, 100mcg/ml Streptomycin and 2 mM L-glutamine). Please, let us know if you are using different antibiotics or different concentrations in the media. Ship well wrapped at ambient temperature in a styrofoam container.
About PCC and genotype of propionic acidemia due to pcc deficiency, complicates the rational development of improved treatment http://www.uchsc.edu/sm/cbs/pcc/about_pcc.htm
Extractions: Propionic acidemia was first described in 1961 by Childs et al. (Fenton and Rosenberg 1995) . Surtees et al. have also reported a high prevalence of neurologic sequelae, including dystonia, severe chorea, and pyramidal signs, particularly in patients who survive longer. Leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, perhaps due to marrow suppression by one or more of the toxic metabolites produced, is also not uncommon. Recently, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain in three PCC patients revealed delayed myelination and some cerebral atrophy. Proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy from a voxel located in basal ganglia revealed a decrease in N-acetylaspartate and myo-inositol peaks and an elevation of GLN/GLU. The presence of spectroscopic abnormalities indicates that the metabolic balance on cerebral parenchymal level is less optimal than estimated from biochemical analysis of urine, plasma, or cerebrospinal fluid (Bergman et al. 1996). Biochemically, patients with this disorder present with elevated levels of propionic acid, methylcitrate
