	Barth Syndrome - X-linked Cardiomyopathy and Neutropenia
		Interestingly, although 3-methylglutaconic acid is known as an intermediate in the catabolism of the amino acid L-leucine, the excess 3-methylglutaconic acid in Barth syndrome appears to arise independent of the metabolism of leucine.
		However, some severely affected Barth patients have no biochemical or histological evidence of mitochondrial dysfunction, and certain features of the syndrome, such as growth retardation and cyclic neutropenia, are not easily explained by the relatively mild degree of mitochondrial impairment in Barth syndrome.
		Nevertheless, the incidence of Barth syndrome is almost certainly underestimated because infants and children who die acutely with a dilated cardiomyopathy are often assumed to have a viral myocarditis and may not always have a full metabolic evaluation.

	Barth syndrome
		Barth syndrome is a rare disease caused by a sex-linked mutation.
		The symptoms are weakness of the striated muscles, both skeletal and cardiac; weakness of the immune system; and failure to thrive.
		Barth boys often die before they are five years old, but if they survive past that age, they are not likely to die from it.

	Barth Syndrome
		Barth syndrome is a genetic disorder that appears to occur exclusively in males.
		Barth syndrome is also associated with abnormally diminished muscle tone (hypotonia) and muscle weakness, often leading to delays in the acquisition of gross motor skills.
		Barth syndrome is transmitted as an X-linked recessive trait.

		Barth syndrome is a rare, sex-linked genetic disorder of lipid metabolism that affects males.
		Although most children with Barth syndrome manifest all of these characteristics, some have only one or two of these abnormalities and, as a result, often are given incorrect diagnoses.
		Barth syndrome occurs in many different ethnic groups and does not appear to be more common in any one group.

	Barth syndrome - barth syndrome articles
		Barth syndrome is a rare genetic disorder classified by many signs and symptoms, including metabolism distortion, delayed motor skills, stamina deficiency, hypotonia, chronic fatigue, delayed growth, cardiomyopathy, and compromised immune system.
		More children can be undiagnosed, but it is recorded that fewer than 10 Barth Syndrome infants are born per year in the U.S. The Syndrome was named after Dr. Peter Barth in the Netherlands for his research and discovery.
		Barth Syndrome is caused by 60% frameshift, stop, or splice-site alterations and 30% change in protein's charge.

		Barth Syndrome is a genetic condition that primarily affects the heart.
		Since some Barth Syndrome patients have abnormally shaped mitochondria (see mitochondria diagrams in the Questions section) in some of their tissues, it is possible that the BTHS proteins have a role in the remodeling of the mitochondrial membrane.
		Note: There is another (allelic) version of Barth Syndrome that is called,"isolated noncompaction of the left ventricular myocardium (INVM)." This disorder is also caused by alterations in the BTHS gene, but only involves the heart defect, and not the other symptoms normally associated with Barth Syndrome (10).

	FYI from the NHLBI, Public Interest News: Constituent's Corner
		Barth syndrome is an X-linked recessive condition that encompasses cardiomyopathy, neutropenia, skeletal muscle weakness, and growth delay.
		Consequently, she and one of the researchers funded by the Barth Syndrome Foundation now are collaborating to investigate the creation of an antibody that is needed by a number of scientists working on the disorder.
		Because people with Barth Syndrome, like victims of many other rare genetic disorders, now fortunately are living much longer and, with continuing advances, have a much more promising future, it is really important that the boys and young men with Barth syndrome themselves have an opportunity to meet with these experts as well.
