Abstract excerpt
TAZ (G4.5) was initially identified as the gene associated with Barth syndrome and left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC). The purpose of this study was to investigate patients with LVNC for disease-causing mutations in TAZ. In 124 Japanese patients, including 50 families, mutation analysis of TAZ was performed using DNA sequencing. A splice donor mutation was identified in two brothers with Barth syndrome and...
