Growth and Overall Health of Patients with <i>SLC13A5</i> Citrate Transporter Disorder
We were interested in elucidating the non-neurologic health of patients with autosomal recessive <i>SLC13A5</i> Citrate Transporter (NaCT) Disorder. Multiple variants have been reported that cause a loss of transporter activity, resulting in significant neurologic impairment, including s...
