It might be so confusing to tell DNA and RNA apart that they actually start plotting schemes to scare off Meredith Blake and get your parents back together. But don’t worry, there are ways to tell the difference between these two terms!

For Barth Syndrome, think of Bart Simpson.

Bart’s spiky hair looks like cristae, the tight folds of mito membrane (MM), & reminds u that MM curvature is affected.

Cardiolipin synthesis is ↓. “bARTh affects the heART.”

Barth is XL (affects boys). Bart is a boy.
