Scope note: Raro trastorno congénito del metabolismo de los lípidos ligado al cromosoma X. El síndrome de Barth se transmite con un patrón recesivo ligado a X. El síndrome se caracteriza por  debilidad muscular, retraso del crecimiento, MIOCARDIOPATÍA DILATADA, NEUTROPENIA variable, aciduria 3 metilglutacónica (tipo II) y disminución de las concentraciones de CARDIOLIPINA mitocondriales. También existen otras anormalidades morfológicas mitocondriales y bioquímicas.

Scope note: Rare congenital X-linked disorder of lipid metabolism. Barth syndrome is transmitted in an X-linked recessive pattern. The syndrome is characterized by muscular weakness, growth retardation, DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY, variable NEUTROPENIA, 3-methylglutaconic aciduria (type II) and decreases in mitochondrial CARDIOLIPIN level. Other biochemical and morphological mitochondrial abnormalities also exist.
