Deficient Cardiolipin Remodelling Alters Muscle Fibre Composition and Neuromuscular Connectivity in Barth Syndrome [PDF]

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle
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.

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 ...

Case Report: A Chinese child with Barth syndrome caused by a novel TAFAZZIN mutation [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X-linked recessive genetic disorder characterized by a broad spectrum of clinical features including cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, neutropenia, growth delay, and 3-methylglutaconic aciduria.

The enigmatic role of tafazzin in cardiolipin metabolism [PDF]

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2009
The mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin plays an important role in cellular metabolism as exemplified by its involvement in mitochondrial energy production and apoptosis. Following its biosynthesis, cardiolipin is actively remodeled to achieve its final acyl composition.

Cell-Penetrating Peptide Enhances Tafazzin Gene Therapy in Mouse Model of Barth Syndrome [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Barth Syndrome (BTHS) is an early onset, lethal X-linked disorder caused by a mutation in tafazzin (TAFAZZIN), a mitochondrial acyltransferase that remodels monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) to mature cardiolipin (CL) and is essential for normal mitochondrial ...

The Loss of Tafazzin Transacetylase Activity Is Sufficient to Drive Testicular Infertility [PDF]

Journal of Developmental Biology
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare, infantile-onset, X-linked mitochondriopathy exhibiting a variable presentation of failure to thrive, growth insufficiency, skeletal myopathy, neutropenia, and heart anomalies due to mitochondrial dysfunction secondary to ...

Barth syndrome mutations that cause tafazzin complex lability [PDF]

Journal of Cell Biology, 2011
Deficits in mitochondrial function result in many human diseases. The X-linked disease Barth syndrome (BTHS) is caused by mutations in the tafazzin gene TAZ1. Its product, Taz1p, participates in the metabolism of cardiolipin, the signature phospholipid of mitochondria.

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 ...

Substantial Decrease in Plasmalogen in the Heart Associated with Tafazzin Deficiency [PDF]

Biochemistry, 2018
Tafazzin is the mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes transacylation between a phospholipid and a lysophospholipid in remodeling. Mutations in tafazzin cause Barth syndrome, a potentially life-threatening disease with the major symptom being cardiomyopathy.
