What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create a comprehensive registry for pediatric patients in India diagnosed with Glycogen Storage Diseases (GSDs). It will involve a multicentric approach, collecting both retrospective and prospective data from various medical centers across the country. The primary objective is to describe the clinical presentation and outcomes of genetically confirmed cases of hepatic GSDs, focusing on genotype-phenotype correlations. The study will continuously expand participation from new centers, allowing for ongoing data collection and analysis.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are children under 18 years of age with genetically confirmed hepatic glycogen storage diseases.

Not a fit: Patients who have clinical, biochemical, and histological evidence of GSDs but lack a confirmatory genetic sequencing report may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could enhance understanding of GSDs in Indian children, leading to improved diagnosis and management strategies.

How similar studies have performed: While there is limited data on GSDs in the Indian population, similar registries in other countries have successfully improved understanding and management of these conditions.
