Quality of life in Barth syndrome [PDF]
Therapeutic Advances in Rare Disease, 2022 Introduction: Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X-linked disorder characterized by cardiomyopathy, neutropenia, growth abnormalities, and skeletal myopathy. There have been few studies investigating health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in this population.

Experimental models of Barth syndrome [PDF]
Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2022 AbstractMutation of the gene Tafazzin (TAZ) causes Barth syndrome, an X‐linked disorder characterized by cardiomyopathy, skeletal muscle weakness, and neutropenia. TAZ is an acyltransferase that catalyzes the remodeling of cardiolipin, the signature phospholipid of the inner mitochondrial membrane. Here, we review the major model systems that have been

Barth Syndrome Cardiomyopathy: An Update [PDF]
Genes, 2022 Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an X-linked mitochondrial lipid disorder caused by mutations in the TAFAZZIN (TAZ) gene, which encodes a mitochondrial acyltransferase/transacylase required for cardiolipin (CL) biosynthesis. Cardiomyopathy is a major clinical feature of BTHS.

Case Report: Deletion in the 5' untranslated region of TAFAZZIN in a boy with Barth syndrome [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular MedicineBackgroundBarth syndrome is an X-linked disorder characterised by cardiomyopathy, growth abnormalities, neutropenia, and 3-methylglutaconic aciduria. It is caused by pathogenic variants in TAFAZZIN, which encodes a mitochondrial protein essential for ...
