Transport of glucose from the bloodstream across the blood-brain barrier to the central nervous system is facilitated by glucose transport protein type I (GLUT1), the first member of the solute carrier family 2 (SLC2). Heterozygous Mutations in the GLUT1/SLC2A1 gene, occurring de novo or inherited as in autosomal dominant trait, result in cerebral energy failure and a clinical condition termed GLUT1-deficiency syndrome (GLUT1-DS). Clinical features usually comprise motor and mental developmental delay, seizures with infantile onset, deceleration of head growth often resulting in acquired microcephaly, and a movement disorder with ataxia, dystonia, and spasticity. Subsequent to the delineation of this classic phenotype the variability of signs and symptoms in GLUT1-DS is being recognized. Patients with (i) carbohydrate-responsive symptoms, with (ii) predominant ataxia or dystonia, but without seizures, and with (iii) paroxysmal exertion-induced dyskinesia and seizures have been reported. Common laboratory hallmark in all phenotypes is the reduced glucose level in cerebrospinal fluid with lowered CSF-to-blood glucose ratio. Treatment with a ketogenic diet results in marked improvement of seizures and movement disorders. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
