Biotinidase deficiency newborn screening and follow-up study
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at babies who had low biotinidase enzyme activity on their newborn screening test. It aims to understand the genetic cause and track their health over time. If your child had low activity on this test, this study may help provide important follow-up care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child had a newborn screening test showing low biotinidase enzyme activity (less than 50% or 30%, depending on the year) between January 2016 and December 2020.
- You (the parent or guardian) agree to sign a consent form allowing your child to join the study.
- Your child does not have any known chromosome problems or complex medical syndromes.

This study looks at children who may have genetic (inherited) or metabolic (body chemistry) problems, including newborn screening and episodes of trouble. The goal is to better understand these conditions and identify children who may benefit from further care.
This study uses a simple blood spot and urine test to look for chemical signs of rare metabolic diseases. It aims to improve early detection and understanding of these conditions across all ages, including healthy individuals.
This study follows babies under 6 months old who have early signs of liver disease (cholestasis) to better understand what causes it and how it progresses. Researchers will collect medical information over time to improve diagnosis and treatment.
This research study follows patients with methylmalonic acidemia (a rare metabolic disorder affecting how the body breaks down certain proteins) or cobalamin (vitamin B12) disorders to better understand how these conditions develop and progress over time. Researchers will collect medical information, blood samples, and eye exams to help improve future treatments.
This study enrolls children and young adults with biliary atresia (a condition where bile can’t flow properly from the liver) to learn from their care and outcomes over scheduled visits. It may help researchers understand the disease better and improve future treatment.
This study tests a new way to screen newborns for rare genetic diseases using a blood sample. It aims to find treatable conditions early so that babies can get care sooner.
