glucose transporter deficiency syndrome
Glucose transporter deficiency syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by a lack or dysfunction of proteins called glucose transporters, which are responsible for moving glucose into cells. This condition impairs the body's ability to properly utilize glucose, leading to various symptoms such as low blood sugar, developmental delays, and neurological problems.
