Glucose Transporter Deficiencies
Codes have been created for deficiencies in glucose transport: E74.810 Glucose transporter protein type 1 deficiency E74.818 Other disorders of glucose transport E74.819 Disorders of glucose transport, unspecified E74.89 Other specified disorders of carbohydrate metabolism Glucose transporter protein type 1 deficiency syndrome (Glut1DS) is a genetic disorder that impairs the nervous system and affects brain metabolism, growth and function. The protein, GLUT1, is responsible for transporting glucose across the blood-brain barrier and into the cells of the brain. Mutation in the SCL2A1 gene, that is responsible for instructions to produce GLUT1, causes a shortage of...
