Cell growth is useful to quantitatively determine the functional effects of SLC2A1 variants. Nonsense variants were reliably distinguished from benign variants in this in vitro functional assay. For facilitating early diagnosis and therapeutic intervention, future work is needed to determine the functional effect of every possible variant in SLC2A1.
