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.

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.

Diminished Exercise Capacity and Mitochondrial bc1 Complex Deficiency in Tafazzin-Knockdown Mice [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013
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 ...

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

FASEB J
ABSTRACT Barth Syndrome (BTHS) is a debilitating X‐linked genetic disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding TAFAZZIN, an enzyme responsible for the remodeling of cardiolipin. While cyclic neutropenia is a well‐recognized immunological feature of this disease, emerging evidence suggests that lymphopenia may

Role of Tafazzin in Mitochondrial Function, Development and Disease [PDF]

Journal of Developmental Biology, 2020
Tafazzin, an enzyme associated with the rare inherited x-linked disorder Barth Syndrome, is a nuclear encoded mitochondrial transacylase that is highly conserved across multiple species and plays an important role in mitochondrial function.

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 ...

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 ...

Phenotypic Characterization of Female Carrier Mice Heterozygous for Tafazzin Deletion

Biology, 2023
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is caused by mutations in tafazzin resulting in deficits in cardiolipin remodeling that alter major metabolic processes. The tafazzin gene is encoded on the X chromosome, and therefore BTHS primarily affects males.

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 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.
