Barth's Syndrome is not something you get from a virus or a bacteria. It is genetic, on the X chromozome. It means that a women is mostly only a carrier, and when a carrier woman marries a amn, 50% of their boys will have Barth's Syndrome and 50% of their girls will be carriers. All the other boys and girls will be healthy. Have good health, harhanegev@gmail.com
