Saving lives through education, advances in treatments and finding a cure for Barth syndrome

 

Barth syndrome is a rare genetic condition that usually affects boys and men (though we do have girls within our group)

Main symptoms:

  • Heart muscle weakness (cardiomyopathy)
  • Neutropenia (lack of white blood cells needed to fight bacterial infections)
  • Fatigue and general muscle weakness
  • Growth/feeding issues

Barth Syndrome UK is a well-established community of families, medical professionals, scientists, donors and volunteers with links to other affiliates all around the world.  We provide the most comprehensive source of reliable and current information about this condition and we invite you to visit our pages to find the information you seek.
