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 into the br​ain, which creates an energy crisis and prevents it from growing, developing, and functioning the way it should.
​The Glut1 Deficiency Foundation is a nonprofit patient advocacy organization dedicated to improving the lives of those in the Glut1 Deficiency community through its mission of:
  • increased awareness
  • improved education
  • advocacy for patients and families
