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

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

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

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

Deficient Cardiolipin Remodelling Alters Muscle Fibre Composition and Neuromuscular Connectivity in Barth Syndrome [PDF]
Background Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X‐linked mitochondrial disorder caused by mutations in the TAFAZZIN gene, which disrupts cardiolipin (CL) remodelling and mitochondrial function.

Diminished Exercise Capacity and Mitochondrial bc1 Complex Deficiency in Tafazzin-Knockdown Mice
The phospholipid, cardiolipin, is essential for maintaining mitochondrial structure and optimal function. Cardiolipin-deficiency in humans, Barth syndrome, is characterized by exercise intolerance, dilated cardiomyopathy, neutropenia and 3-methyl ...

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