Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include male patients over 8 years old and female patients under 30 with a documented pathogenic variant of the LAMP2 gene.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without a pathogenic variant of the LAMP2 gene or those outside the specified age range may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This international observational study aims to understand the natural history of Danon disease in male patients over 8 years old and female patients under 30. It will assess changes over time in cardiac structure, biomarkers, symptoms, and quality of life, as well as the incidence of clinical events like heart failure hospitalization and cardiac transplantation. The study employs both retrospective and prospective data collection to generate robust longitudinal data on this rare genetic disorder. A subset of patients will serve as an External Control Arm for comparison with participants in another trial.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the progression and management of Danon disease, potentially improving patient care.
How similar studies have gone: While this study focuses on the natural history of Danon disease, similar observational studies in rare genetic disorders have shown success in understanding disease progression and improving management strategies.
