Disease relevance of WWTR1

  • Mutations in the human TAZ gene are associated with Barth Syndrome, an often fatal X-linked disorder that presents with cardiomyopathy and neutropenia [1].
  • Of 204 patients suspected of having VAP and randomized to a treatment arm of the study, 127 (64%) had bacteriologically confirmed infections, of which 37% were polymicrobial and 32% involved Pseudomonas aeruginosa; 115 patients (51 TAZ and 64 CAZ recipients) remained evaluable as per protocol [2].
  • SETTING: The study was carried out in the CAPD unit of Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, Zerifin, Israel. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Six patients participated in the study, 4 had pseudomonas peritonitis, all were given an IP loading dose of 4 g/0.5 g PIP/TAZ [3].
  • The broad-spectrum of this formulation, together with its low degree of organ toxicity observed in adults, makes PIP/TAZ a tempting choice for children with radio-/chemotherapy-induced neutropenia [4].
  • The combination of piperacillin with tazobactam (PIP/TAZ) extends the activity of piperacillin against gram-positive, gram-negative, and anaerobic bacteria [4].
 

High impact information on WWTR1

 

Biological context of WWTR1

 

Anatomical context of WWTR1

  • TAZ, a transcriptional modulator of mesenchymal stem cell differentiation [12].
  • The tolerability of PIP/TAZ was assessed in 19 children and adolescents between 2 and 18 years of age who developed a fever during aplasia after high dose radio-/chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HD-SCT) for primary multifocal or relapsed solid tumours [4].
  • Using RT-PCR, we characterized TAZ mRNAs in cultured lymphocytes from nine subjects with Barth syndrome and two healthy controls [13].
 

Associations of WWTR1 with chemical compounds

  • For patients experiencing bacterial eradication, the rates of clinical change for cefmenoxime and CIP or TAZ treatment were similar (P = 0.77) [8].
  • Loss of E(2) binding ability appears irreversible, since we failed to label receptor accumulated under OH-Tam with [(3)H]E(2) or [(3)H]tamoxifen aziridine (TAZ) [14].
  • Tazobactam could not be detected in the plasma of most patients and the therapeutic implications of IP administration of TAZ cannot be directly correlated to intravenous administration [3].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of WWTR1

  • This cream (TAZ) was applied for four consecutive days to human volunteers on the same 24-cm2 application area on the forearm for 12 h under occlusion [16].
