Abstract

Here, a case is presented with two rare genetic disorders, biotinidase deficiency and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia, in a Turkish infant. This case may serve as a reminder that the diagnosis of a genetic disorder does not exclude the possibility of a second congenital but acquired disease. Copyright © Informa Healthcare USA, Inc.
