glucose transporter diseases
Glucose transporter diseases are a group of genetic disorders that affect the transport of glucose, a vital source of energy, into cells. These diseases result from mutations in the genes responsible for glucose transporters, leading to impaired glucose uptake and subsequent metabolic abnormalities.
