What is Glut1 Deficiency?

Glucose Transporter Protein Type 1 Deficiency Syndrome
It's a rare genetic condition that impairs brain metabolism. Glucose isn’t transported properly across the blood brain barrier and into the brain, preventing it from growing, developing, and functioning the way it should.
​The Glut1 Deficiency Foundation is a nonprofit patient advocacy organization dedicated
​to improving lives in the Glut1 Deficiency community through its mission of:
  • increased awareness
  • improved education
  • advocacy for patients and families
  • support and funding for research

OUR VISION:

We dream of a brighter future where Glut1 Deficiency will be easy to diagnose early, treat effectively, and cure completely.
