Popis: Background Holocarboxylase synthetase (HLCS) deficiency is a rare inborn disorder of biotin metabolism, which results in defects in several biotin-dependent carboxylases and presents with metabolic ketoacidosis and skin lesions. Case presentation In this paper, we report a Chinese Han pedigree with HLCS deficiency diagnosed by using next-generation sequencing and validated with Sanger sequencing of the HLCS and BTD genes. The Chinese proband carries the common missense mutation c.1522C > T (p.Arg508Trp) in exon 9 of the HLCS gene, which generates an increased Km value for biotin. A novel frameshift mutation c.1006_1007delGA (p.Glu336Thrfs*15) in exon 6 of the HLCS gene is predicted to be deleterious through PROVEAN and MutationTaster. A novel heterozygous mutation, c.638_642delAACAC (p.His213Profs*4), in the BTD gene is also identified. Conclusions The Chinese proband carries the reported Arg508Trp variant, the novel 2-bp frameshift mutation c.1006_1007delGA (p.Glu336Thrfs*15), which expands the mutational spectrum of the HLCS gene, and the novel heterozygous mutation c.638_642delAACAC (p.His213Profs*4), which expands the mutational spectrum of the BTD gene. Furthermore, reversible hearing damage is rarely reported in patients with HLCS deficiency, which deserves further discussion.
