Barth syndrome is a rare but serious x-linked genetic disorder, primarily affecting males. It is caused by a mutation in the tafazzin gene resulting in an inborn error of lipid metabolism. Barth Syndrome Foundation Of Canada's major focuses are to provide hope for the future through funding research grants into the cause, treatments and a cure for the disease, and hope for today through our services and programs that assist both Canadian families and physicians. We also work with other Canadian charities where we have common goals for our member groups.
