Mouse tafazzin is required for male germ cell meiosis and spermatogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Barth syndrome is an X-linked mitochondrial disease, symptoms of which include neutropenia and cardiac myopathy. These symptoms are the most significant clinical consequences of a disease, which is increasingly recognised to have a variable presentation.

Myocardial disturbances of intermediary metabolism in Barth syndrome

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Barth Syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X-linked mitochondrial disorder due to mutations in the gene TAFAZZIN, which leads to immature cardiolipin (CL) remodeling and is characterized by the development of cardiomyopathy.

Tafazzin deficiency in mouse mesenchymal stem cells promote reprogramming of activated B lymphocytes toward immunosuppressive phenotypes

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 36, Issue 8, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Barth Syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X‐linked genetic disorder caused by mutation in the TAFAZZIN gene. Tafazzin (Taz) deficiency in BTHS patients results in an increased risk of infections. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are well known for their immune‐inhibitory function.

An improved functional assay in blood spot to diagnose Barth syndrome using the monolysocardiolipin/cardiolipin ratio

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 29-37, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Barth syndrome is an X‐linked disorder characterized by cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, and neutropenia, caused by deleterious variants in TAFAZZIN. This gene encodes a phospholipid‐lysophospholipid transacylase that is required for the remodeling of the mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin (CL).

Mechano‐energetic aspects of Barth syndrome

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 82-98, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Energy‐demanding organs like the heart are strongly dependent on oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria. Oxidative phosphorylation is governed by the respiratory chain located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The inner mitochondrial membrane is the only cellular membrane with significant amounts of the phospholipid cardiolipin, and ...

The lipid environment modulates cardiolipin and phospholipid constitution in wild type and tafazzin‐deficient cells

open access: yesJournal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 38-50, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Deficiency of the transacylase tafazzin due to loss of function variants in the X‐chromosomal TAFAZZIN gene causes Barth syndrome (BTHS) with severe neonatal or infantile cardiomyopathy, neutropenia, myopathy, and short stature. The condition is characterized by drastic changes in the composition of cardiolipins, a mitochondria‐specific class ...

MICOS and the mitochondrial inner membrane morphology – when things get out of shape

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 595, Issue 8, Page 1159-1183, April 2021., 2021
Mitochondria play a key role in cellular signalling, metabolism and energetics. Proper architecture and remodelling of the inner mitochondrial membrane are essential for efficient respiration, apoptosis and quality control in the cell. Several protein complexes including mitochondrial contact site and cristae organizing system (MICOS), F1FO‐ATP ...

Impaired cardiac and skeletal muscle bioenergetics in children, adolescents, and young adults with Barth syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an X‐linked condition characterized by altered cardiolipin metabolism and cardioskeletal myopathy. We sought to compare cardiac and skeletal muscle bioenergetics in children, adolescents, and young adults with BTHS and unaffected

Loss of Mitochondrial Ca 2+ Uniporter Limits Inotropic Reserve and Provides Trigger and Substrate for Arrhythmias in Barth Syndrome Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Background: Barth syndrome (BTHS) is caused by mutations of the gene encoding tafazzin, which catalyzes maturation of mitochondrial cardiolipin and often manifests with systolic dysfunction during early infancy.

Cardiolipin deficiency in Barth syndrome is not associated with increased superoxide/H2O2 production in heart and skeletal muscle mitochondria

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 595, Issue 3, Page 415-432, February 2021., 2021
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X‐linked genetic disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding the transacylase tafazzin and characterized by loss of cardiolipin and severe cardiomyopathy. Mitochondrial oxidants have been implicated in the cardiomyopathy in BTHS.
