Tafazzin regulates neutrophil maturation and inflammatory response [PDF]
Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the TAFAZZIN gene. It is characterized by neutropenia, cardiomyopathy and skeletal myopathy.

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

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 ...

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

Phenotypic Characterization of Female Carrier Mice Heterozygous for Tafazzin Deletion
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.

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 ...

Tafazzin modulates cellular phospholipid composition to regulate AML stemness [PDF]
Tafazzin is a mitochondrial enzyme necessary for the remodeling of the phospholipid cardiolipin. Seneviratne and Xu et al. demonstrated that Tafazzin-mediated phospholipid production regulates stemness in Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). Tafazzin influenced

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.

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 ...
