Glycogen storage disorders GSD are inherited metabolic diseases affecting glycogen production or breakdown, mainly involving the liver and muscles. These disorders vary in severity from mild to fatal in infancy. This study focuses on hepatic GSD types 0a, I, III, IV, VI, IX, and XI in Indian children. It aims to establish a comprehensive Indian GSD registry to better understand the spectrum of genetic defects, natural progression, and how genetic variations relate to disease symptoms in this population. The study is a multicenter observational effort collecting both retrospective and ongoing prospective data from genetically confirmed pediatric hepatic GSD cases. It involves analyzing clinical presentations, outcomes, and genetic variations across multiple centers in India. Retrospective data collection and analysis are planned between May 2024 and April 2025, with continued data submission from new centers and periodic follow-up every 6 months to 1 year. The registry will help guide individualized treatment decisions, including medical therapy or liver transplantation. Participants are children diagnosed genetically with hepatic GSD. The research team reviews clinical data, genetic testing results, and long-term outcomes such as native liver survival and post-transplant complications. The study measures the association between specific gene variants and clinical disease expression over a 5-year period. This ongoing project aims to improve understanding of GSD in Indian children to support better diagnosis, management, and health policies.
