Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a rare X-linked recessively inherited disorder caused by variants in the TAFAZZIN gene, leading to impaired conversion of monolysocardiolipin (MLCL) into mature cardiolipin (CL). Accumulation of MLCL and CL deficiency are diagnostic markers for BTHS. Clinically, BTHS includes cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, neutropenia, and growth delays. Severely affected patients may require early cardiac transplants due to unpredictable cardiac phenotypes. The pathophysiological mechanisms of BTHS are poorly understood, and treatments remain symptomatic. This study analyzed heart samples from five pediatric male BTHS patients (5 months-15 years) and compared them to tissues from 24 non-failing donors (19-71 years) using an integrated omics method combining metabolomics, lipidomics, and proteomics. The analysis confirmed changes in diagnostic markers (CL and MLCL), severe mitochondrial alterations, metabolic shifts, and elevated heart-failure markers. It also revealed significant interindividual differences among BTHS patients. With this study describe a powerful analytical tool for the in-depth analysis of metabolic disorders and a solid foundation for the understanding of BTHS disease phenotypes in cardiac tissues.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
