This research, carried out primarily by Dr. Zhuqing Liang, utilized genetic and biochemical approaches to elucidate one of the mechanisms underlying decreased pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity in Tafazzin-deficient models of Barth syndrome (BTHS). This mechanism could help explain how cardiolipin deficiency leads to metabolic dysregulation in BTHS.
