Mutations in the TANGO2 gene are associated with a severe neurometabolic disorder in humans, often presenting with life-threatening metabolic crisis. However, the function of TANGO2 protein remains unknown. It has recently been proposed that TANGO2 transports heme within and between cells, from a ...

TANGO2 deficiency disease (TDD) is a rare genetic disorder estimated to affect ~8000 individuals worldwide. It causes neurodegeneration often accompanied by potentially lethal metabolic crises that are triggered by diet or illness. Recent work has demonstrated distinct lipid imbalances in multiple model systems either depleted for or devoid of the TANGO2 ...

Purpose: TANGO2 deficiency disorder (TDD), an autosomal recessive disease first reported in 2016, is characterized by neurodevelopmental delay, seizures, intermittent ataxia, hypothyroidism, and life-threatening metabolic and cardiac crises. The purpose of this study was to defin ...

Mutations in the Transport and Golgi Organization 2 (TANGO2) gene are associated with intellectual deficit, neurodevelopmental delay and regression. Individuals can also present with an acute metabolic crisis that includes rhabdomyolysis, cardiomyopathy and cardiac arrhythmias, the latter of which are potentially lethal. While preventing metabolic crises ...

TANGO2 variants result in a complex disease phenotype consisting of recurrent crisis-induced rhabdomyolysis, encephalopathy, seizures, lactic acidosis, hypoglycemia, and cardiac arrhythmias. Although first described in a fruit fly model as a protein necessary for some aspect of Golgi function and organization, its role in the cell at a fundamental level h ...
