SLC25A22

SLC25A22 is a glutamate transporter across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Recessive mutations in the SLC25A22 gene may result in familial malignant migrating seizures of infancy (MPSI/MMPSI) or neonatal epileptic encephalopathy with suppression burst pattern (NEEB). Both phenotypes are catastrophic epilepsies of infancy, but are clearly distinct.
