Abstract

Barth syndrome involves cardiomyopathy, skeletal myopathy, neutropenia and 3-methylglutaconic (3-mgc) aciduria. 3-mgc aciduria has been observed in almost all reported cases and has served as a diagnostic criterion. Conclusion: A case of confirmed BTHS, but without 3-mgc aciduria, emphasizes the importance of extensive investigations in cases with suspected hereditary cardiomyopathy.
