People, mostly males, has barth syndrome. Barth Syndrome affected 200,000 male infants.
Barth syndrome is named after the pediatric cardiologist Peter G. Barth, who first described the condition in 1983. He observed several boys with a distinct set of symptoms including cardiomyopathy, muscle weakness, growth delay, and neutropenia, leading to the recognition of the syndrome that bears his name.
Barth syndrome is a rare genetic disorder, and while it may not be widely known in popular culture, one notable individual associated with it is the late musician and composer, John "Johnny" Barth. However, specific well-known figures with Barth syndrome are not commonly documented, as the condition affects a small number of individuals and is often not publicly disclosed. Most information about Barth syndrome comes from advocacy groups and medical studies rather than celebrity cases.
It is a genetically-linked cardiac disease
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
The mutated gene in Barth syndrome is tafazzin, and when this gene is defective it causes a loss or change in the biomolecule called cardiolipin. Cardiolipin is a phospholipid found in the mitochondria. Matthew J. Toth Science Director Barth Syndrome Foundation, Inc.
Barth syndrome occurs when a person is born with a mutated, or abnormal, TAZ1 (or G4.5) gene. This abnormal gene is located on the X chromosome, which is a sex-determining chromosome. Males have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.
