UDP-galactose translocator is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SLC35A2gene.[5][6]
Somatic loss-of-function variants in the SLC35A2 gene were originally associated with focal epilepsy with radiographically nonlesional epilepsy.[7] Later it was discovered that individuals with somatic variants in SLC35A2 have a mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia in epilepsy (MOGHE), which is a subtype of frontal lobe epilepsy.[8]
