Clinical Utility of Nuchal Translucency Measurement in First‐Trimester Ultrasound Screening in a Setting With First‐Tier NIPT for Aneuploidy Screening

Prenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the additional clinical value of nuchal translucency (NT) measurement at the first‐trimester anomaly scan (FTAS) in a setting with first‐tier non‐invasive prenatal testing (NIPT). Method This nationwide prospective cohort study, part of the IMITAS study on FTAS implementation, included all pregnancies with increased NT

TAZ encodes tafazzin, a transacylase essential for cardiolipin formation and central to the etiology of Barth syndrome [PDF]

, 2020
Tafazzin, which is encoded by the TAZ gene, catalyzes transacylation to form mature cardiolipin and shows preference for the transfer of a linoleic acid (LA) group from phosphatidylcholine (PC) to monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) with influence from ...

Cardiolipin remodeling by TAZ/tafazzin is selectively required for the initiation of mitophagy [PDF]

Autophagy, 2015
Tafazzin (TAZ) is a phospholipid transacylase that catalyzes the remodeling of cardiolipin, a mitochondrial phospholipid required for oxidative phosphorylation. Mutations of TAZ cause Barth syndrome, which is characterized by mitochondrial dysfunction and dilated cardiomyopathy, leading to premature death.

Tafazzin deficiency impairs CoA-dependent oxidative metabolism in cardiac mitochondria [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2020
Barth syndrome is a mitochondrial myopathy resulting from mutations in the tafazzin (TAZ) gene encoding a phospholipid transacylase required for cardiolipin remodeling. Cardiolipin is a phospholipid of the inner mitochondrial membrane essential for the function of numerous mitochondrial proteins and processes.

Revisiting Inherited Metabolic Diseases (IMDs) Through the Lens of Selective Autophagy

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Selective autophagy is increasingly recognized as a fundamental quality‐control mechanism that complements bulk autophagy by enabling the targeted degradation of specific intracellular cargos, including mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), lipid droplets, glycogen, peroxisomes, ferritin, ribosomes, and protein aggregates.

Curating the Fetal Genome: Experience of the ClinGen Prenatal Gene Curation Expert Panel (GCEP)

Prenatal Diagnosis, Volume 46, Issue 11, Page 1703-1710, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Expert prenatal focused gene‐disease curation is necessary to accurately inform clinical care in the setting of rapidly expanding prenatal genomic sequencing. Methods An international Prenatal Gene Curation Expert Panel assembled and systematically reviewed genes asserted to be associated with prenatal hydrops, stillbirth, or severe ...

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

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 ...

Impaired Hepatic Glucose Metabolism Is Associated With Glucose Intolerance in Mice Carrying α2 Isoform Na,K‐ATPase Mutation

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The Na,K‐ATPase is important for energy demanding cellular processes, including essential components of substrate metabolism and metabolic flexibility. Mice heterozygous for the hemiplegic migraine‐related mutation, G301R, of the Na,K‐ATPase α2 isoform (α2+/G301R) demonstrated altered metabolism in the heart.
