Glut1 is a glucose transporter that is responsible for the facilitated diffusion of glucose across the blood-brain barrier. glut1 deficiency syndrome is a rare genetic disorder where mutations in the gene encoding glut1 reduce or eliminate the function of the glut1 protein. affected individuals suffer from seizures along with a number of potential neurological problems. what would be the most effective therapy to treat patients suffering from this disorder?
The
most effective therapy to treat patients suffering from Glut1 deficiency
syndrome is to switch to a diet containing carbohydrates other than glucose to
circumvent the deficient transport. It is a rare genetic disorder where
mutations in the gene encoding Glut1 reduce or eliminate the function of the
Glut1 protein.
