Elevated liver glycogenolysis mediates higher blood glucose during acute exercise in Barth syndrome

PLoS ONE, 2023
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an X-linked recessive genetic disorder due to mutations in the Tafazzin (TAFAZZIN) gene that lead to cardiac and skeletal muscle mitochondrial dysfunction.

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

Mitochondrial membrane remodeling in stress adaptation: Lipid control of organelle quality

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Mitochondria respond to proteotoxic stress through the mitochondrial unfolded protein response, traditionally viewed as a transcriptional program that restores proteostasis by inducing chaperones and proteases. Emerging evidence indicates that mitochondrial membrane remodeling constitutes an additional adaptive component of this response ...

Decreasing cytosolic translation is beneficial to yeast and human Tafazzin-deficient cells [PDF]

Microbial Cell, 2018
Cardiolipin (CL) optimizes diverse mitochondrial processes, including oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). To function properly, CL needs to be unsaturated, which requires the acyltransferase Tafazzin (TAZ). Loss-of-function mutations in the TAZ gene are responsible for the Barth syndrome (BTHS), a rare X-linked cardiomyopathy, presumably because of a ...

Tafazzin regulates the function of lipopolysaccharide activated B lymphocytes in mice [PDF]

, 2021
Abstract B lymphocytes are responsible for humoral immunity and play a key role in the immune response. Optimal mitochondrial function is required to support B cell activity during activation. We examined how deficiency of tafazzin, a cardiolipin remodeling enzyme required for mitochondrial function, alters the metabolic activity of B ...

YAP‐activated lymph node fibroblasts contribute to extracellular matrix remodeling associated with extranodal extension of oral squamous cell carcinoma

The Journal of Pathology: Clinical Research, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Abstract Desmoplasia, characterized by excessive expansion of cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and aberrant extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, is widely present especially in invasive cancers. The extranodal extension (ENE) of nodal metastasis involves the extension of invasive tumor cells through the lymph node capsule into the perinodal ...

New C-Terminal Conserved Regions of Tafazzin, a Catalyst of Cardiolipin Remodeling [PDF]

Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2019
Cardiolipin interacts with many proteins of the mitochondrial inner membrane and, together with cytochrome C and creatine kinase, activates them. It can be considered as an integrating factor for components of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, which provides for an efficient transfer of electrons and protons.

Genotype–Phenotype Discordance in Cardiomyopathies: Pathophysiology, Clinical Expression, and Therapeutic Considerations

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cardiomyopathies encompass a spectrum of myocardial disorders often attributed to underlying genetic mutations. However, genotype–phenotype discordance where the genetic profile does not align with the expected clinical presentation poses significant diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic challenges.

Survival and Clinical Progression in Barth Syndrome: Insights From the Barth Syndrome Foundation's Database of 502 Affected Individuals

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Barth syndrome (BTHS; OMIM 302060) is an ultra‐rare, life‐limiting genetic disorder characterized by cardiomyopathy, skeletal muscle myopathy, neutropenia, gastrointestinal issues, and fatigue. Formal analyses of survival and clinical progression remain limited.
