What Wikipedia says

Barth syndrome (BTHS) is an ultra-rare, but serious X-linked genetic disorder, caused by pathogenic variants in the TAFAZZIN gene, which leads to an inborn error of lipid metabolism. It may affect multiple body systems (though mainly characterized by pronounced pediatric-onset cardiomyopathy), and is potentially fatal.
