GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, also known as GLUT1-DS, De Vivo disease or Glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome, is an autosomal dominant genetic metabolic disorder associated with a deficiency of GLUT1, the protein that transports glucose across the blood brain barrier.[1] Glucose Transporter Type 1 Deficiency Syndrome has an estimated birth incidence of 1 in 90,000[2] to 1 in 24,300.[3] This birth incidence translates to an estimated prevalence of 3,000 to 7,000 in the U.S.[2]
