GLUT1 DEFICIENCY

Glut1 Deficiency is a rare genetic condition that affects brain metabolism. It is caused by a mutation in the SLC2A1 gene, which regulates the glucose transporter protein type 1 (Glut1). Glut1 is the principal transporter of glucose, the primary source of energy, across the blood-brain barrier. More than 100 different types of mutations and deletions of this gene have been found to date in Glut1 Deficiency patients... Glut1 Deficiency UK is a non-profit family led charity dedicated to improving the lives of those in the Glut1 Deficiency community.
