Multiple carboxylase deficiency is a form of metabolic disorder involving failures of carboxylation enzymes. The deficiency can be in biotinidase or holocarboxylase synthetase.These conditions respond to biotin.Forms include:

Holocarboxylase synthetase deficiency - neonatal;
Biotinidase deficiency - late onset;If left untreated, the symptoms can include feeding problems, decreased body tone, generalized red rash with skin exfoliation and baldness, failure to thrive, seizure, coma, developmental delay, foul smelling urine, lactic acidosis, and high levels of ketones and ammonia in the blood.

Sodium channel inactivation is vital for the proper cessation of action potentials. The decreased inactivation caused by these mutations, then, is expected to cause prolonged action potentials and repetitive firing. Such altered firing will cause increased pain sensation and increased sympathetic nervous system activity, producing the phenotype observed in patients with PEPD. Pathophysiology
There are a total of 8 mutations that account for the disorder in 8 of 14 studied families. These mutations are clustered in four regions throughout the channel: the linker between domains 2 and 3 (D2-3), the intracellular segment linking segments 4 and 5 in domain 3 (D3S4-5), the linker between domains 3 and 4 (D3-4) and the intracellular segment linking segments 4 and 5 in domain 4 (D4S4-5). The mutations in the D3S4-5 region (I1461T, F1462V and T1461I) are located in or next to an IFM motif that is conserved across all voltage-gated sodium channels. Mutagenesis studies of this region have shown that it acts as part of the inactivation gate, pivoting to block the central pore. Not surprisingly then, the two of these mutations that have received further study show incomplete inactivation. When the IFM motif pivots to block the central pore it interacts with residues in the D3S4-5 region. There are three mutations in this region (V1298F, F1298D and V1299F) that are believed to alter the interaction with the inactivation gate. While this region has been studied by mutagenesis these specific mutations have not all received attention, though they are expected to produce changes similar to the aforementioned IFM region mutations.
