NCIt definition : Human TAFAZZIN wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of Xq28 and is approximately
10 kb in length. This allele, which encodes tafazzin protein, plays a role in phospholipid
metabolism, including cardiolipin remodeling. Mutations in the gene are associated
with Barth syndrome, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic DCM, endocardial fibroelastosis
and left ventricular noncompaction.;
NCIt note : TAZ (GeneID 6901) and WWTR1 (GeneID 25937) genes share the TAZ symbol as a synonym.;
