Tafazzin-deficient zebrafish display mitochondrial dysfunction, neutropenia, and metabolic defects without myopathy [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Barth syndrome is an X-linked syndrome characterized by cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, and neutropenia. This life-threatening disorder results from loss-of-function mutations in TAFAZZIN, which encodes a phospholipid-lysophospholipid transacylase ...

Tafazzin regulates neutrophil maturation and inflammatory response [PDF]

EMBO Reports
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the TAFAZZIN gene. It is characterized by neutropenia, cardiomyopathy and skeletal myopathy.

Defective vascular smooth muscle cell tafazzin impairs mitochondrial function and promotes atherosclerosis in preclinical models [PDF]

Nature Communications
Atherosclerotic lesions show significant mitochondrial dysfunction but the underlying mechanisms and consequences remain unknown. Cardiolipin is a phospholipid found exclusively in the mitochondrial inner membrane, the site of oxidative phosphorylation ...

Case Report: Deletion in the 5' untranslated region of TAFAZZIN in a boy with Barth syndrome [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundBarth 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 ...

Effects of Cannabidiol on TAFAZZIN-Deficient B-Lymphoblastoid Cells. [PDF]

FASEB J
Deficiency of the cardiolipin remodeling enzyme TAFAZZIN causes Barth syndrome (BTHS), resulting in cardiolipin loss, monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) accumulation, and electron transport chain (ETC) abnormalities in B‐lymphoblastoid cells. Effects of the non‐psychotropic phytocannabinoid cannabidiol (CBD) were examined on B‐lymphoblastoid cells from ...

Tafazzin Mutation Affecting Cardiolipin Leads to Increased Mitochondrial Superoxide Anions and Mitophagy Inhibition in Barth Syndrome

Cells, 2020
Tafazzin is a phospholipid transacylase that catalyzes the remodeling of cardiolipin, a mitochondrial phospholipid required for oxidative phosphorylation.

A novel TAFAZZIN gene variant c.525_533del causing Barth syndrome and leading to heart transplantation: a case report [PDF]

Frontiers in Pediatrics
IntroductionBarth syndrome (BTHS) is an ultra-rare genetic disease caused by a mutation in the TAFAZZIN gene, located on the X chromosome. This gene codes for the protein tafazzin, which is involved in the metabolism of the mitochondrial phospholipid ...

Expanding the phenotypic and genetic landscape of congenital neutropenia through whole-exome and genome sequencing. [PDF]

Hemasphere
Abstract Congenital neutropenia (CN) comprises a heterogeneous group of rare genetic disorders. While some CN cases present only with neutropenia, others present with additional extra‐hematological manifestations. The most common cause of CN is variants in ELANE; however, approximately 30 other genes have been implicated.

Pharmacological increases in circulating ketones fail to alleviate the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy present in the Tafazzin knockdown mouse model of Barth syndrome [PDF]

Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences
ObjectiveMutations in the tafazzin gene lead to impaired remodeling of cardiolipin, thereby impairing mitochondrial function and causing Barth syndrome (BTHS), a rare X-linked genetic disorder characterized by cardiomyopathy.
