Summary
This study looks at whether replacing a person's own red blood cells with healthy donor cells can improve brain function in people with GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, a rare condition that causes seizures and movement problems. The trial involves about 12 people aged 16 to 80 who have not been helped by the standard ketogenic diet. The main goal is to measure changes in brain activity and seizure frequency using EEG.
