Autosomal dominant transmission of GLUT1 deficiency

Abstract excerpt

GLUT1 deficiency is caused by a defect in the facilitative glucose transporter GLUT1. Impaired glucose transport across brain tissue barriers is reflected by hypoglycorrhachia and results in an epileptic encephalopathy with developmental delay and motor disorders. Recently heterozygous mutations in the GLUT1 gene (1p35-31.3) have been reported in sporadic patients. Parents and siblings carried the GLUT1...
