SLC35A2 encodes the Golgi uridine diphosphate galactose transporter, which is essential for glycosylation of glycoproteins and glycolipids. Variants in this gene, either germline or somatic, have emerged as causes of diverse neurological disorders ranging from congenital disorders of glycosylation (SLC35A2-CDG) to focal cortical malformations such as mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia in epilepsy (MOGHE). This review summarizes the molecular function of SLC35A2, clinical phenotypes of congenital and somatic variants, insights from functional assays and animal models, and therapeutic perspectives including galactose supplementation and precision medicine. We aim to provide an integrative synthesis of human genetics, neuropathology, glycomics, and translational approaches.
