Abstract excerpt
SLC13A5 citrate transporter disorder is a rare epileptic encephalopathy caused by loss-of-function pathogenic variants in the SLC13A5 gene. Loss of sodium/citrate cotransporter (NaCT) function causes a severe early-life epilepsy resulting in lifelong developmental disabilities and increased extracellular citrate. Current antiseizure medications may reduce seizure frequency, yet more targeted treatments are needed...
