Mechanistic Insights into Inactivating Mutations in the Proton-Coupled Folate Transporter (SLC46A1), and Compensatory Mutations that Restore Function
Research Background and Problem Statement Hereditary Folate Malabsorption (HFM) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by impaired intestinal absorption of folates and hindered transport across the choroid plexus into cerebrospinal fluid. This disease is caused by inactivating mutations in the gene encoding the Proton-Coupled Folate T...
