GLUT1 deficiency and other glucose transporter diseases.

Abstract excerpt

We review the three genetically determined disorders of glucose transport across cell membranes. Diseases such as glucose-galactose malabsorption, Fanconi-Bickel syndrome and De Vivo disease (GLUT1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1DS)) arise from heritable mutations in transporter-encoding genes that impair monosaccharide uptake, which becomes rate-limiting in tissues where the transporters serve as the main glucose...
