Glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1DS) is a rare genetic disorder due to mutations or deletions in SLC2A1, resulting in impaired glucose uptake through the blood brain barrier. The classic phenotype includes pharmacoresistant epilepsy, intellectual deficiency, microcephaly and complex movement disorders, with hypoglycorrhachia, but milder phenotypes have been described (carbohydrate-responsive phenotype, dystonia and ataxia...
