    Abstract:
    Glucose transporter type 1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1DS) is an inborn error of brain energy metabolism characterized by impaired glucose transport into the brain. A classic phenotype comprising epilepsy, mental retardation, an often paroxysmal disorder, and several subtypes has been described. Although typical absences are frequent in GLUT1DS, myoclonic absence seizures are rarely reported. Here we describe a novel Turkish patient with a hot-spot mutation (R126C) in the SLC2A1 gene who presented with unusual myoclonic absence epilepsy and paroxysmal shivering. The case is discussed in view of eight other cases carrying the R126C mutation.
