Genes affected
TAFAZZIN (HGNC:11577): (tafazzin, phospholipid-lysophospholipid transacylase) This gene encodes a protein that is expressed at high levels in cardiac and skeletal muscle. Mutations in this gene have been associated with a number of clinical disorders including Barth syndrome, dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic DCM, endocardial fibroelastosis, and left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. A long form and a short form of each of these isoforms is produced; the short form lacks a hydrophobic leader sequence and may exist as a cytoplasmic protein rather than being membrane-bound. Other alternatively spliced transcripts have been described but the full-length nature of all these transcripts is not known. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

This sequence change falls in intron 10 of the TAZ gene. It does not directly change the encoded amino acid sequence of the TAZ protein. It affects a nucleotide within the consensus splice site. This variant is present in population databases (rs782175712, gnomAD 0.03%). This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals affected with TAZ-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 577336). Variants that disrupt the consensus splice site are a relatively common cause of aberrant splicing (PMID: 17576681, 9536098). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may disrupt the consensus splice site. In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. -
