SLC2A10

protein-coding

solute carrier family 2 member 10, the group of Solute carrier family 2

Gene summary

This gene encodes a member of the class III facilitative glucose transporter family. The encoded protein plays a role in regulation of glucose homeostasis. Mutations in this gene have been associated with arterial tortuosity syndrome.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]

*SLC2A10* has been reported in association with autosomal recessive arterial tortuosity syndrome (ATS) in at least 106 individuals (Callewaert B, De Paepe A, Coucke P, GeneReviews, 2023). Clinical phenotypes of ATS include aortic tortuosity, tortuosity of large and mid-sized arteries, pulmonary artery stenosis, joint hypermobility, ocular abnormalities, and characteristic facial features. Phenotype severity ranges from neonatal lethality to adults with isolated phenotypes. Aortic aneurysms varied from very slowly progressive to rapid dilation and dissection. 14 variants (missense, nonsense, deletion, and frameshift) reported in 10 probands in 4 publications (PMIDs: 17935213, 18818946, 37619836, 29323665) are included in this curation. The mechanism of pathogenicity is loss of function. This gene-disease association is also supported by experimental evidence including protein expression in the aorta (PMID:23715323) and a mouse model double knock out for both SLC2A10 and Gulo that recapitulated isolated phenotypes of ATS including decreases in diameter in the descending aorta and compromised extracellular matrix formation (PMID:32307537). Finally the curation is supported by the biochemical function of *SLC2A10*, which encodes GLUT10, a glucose transporting protein that transports dehydroascorbic acid (DHA). Phenotypes from variants in *SLC2A10* may be a result of impaired vitamin C cellular compartmentalization, increases in ROS/oxidative stress, and defective TGF-B signaling. In summary, *SLC2A10* is definitively associated with autosomal recessive arterial tortuosity syndrome. This has been repeatedly demonstrated in both the research and clinical diagnostic settings, and has been upheld over time. The evidence summary was approved by the Heritable Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm and Dissection subgroup of the Hereditary Cardiovascular Disease Gene Curation Expert Panel on 9/6/2024.

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_030777.4. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.
