Glycogen Storage Disease
Also known as GSD, von Gierke disease (GSD Ia), Cori disease (GSD III), Hers disease (GSD VI)
Glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) are a group of inherited metabolic disorders caused by enzyme deficiencies in glycogen synthesis or breakdown pathways. There are over 10 recognized types affecting liver, muscle, or both.

About Glycogen Storage Disease
Glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) are a group of inherited metabolic disorders caused by enzyme deficiencies in glycogen synthesis or breakdown pathways. There are over 10 recognized types affecting liver, muscle, or both. GSD Type I (von Gierke) causes severe fasting hypoglycemia and hepatomegaly; GSD Type V (McArdle) causes exercise intolerance and muscle cramps; GSD Type III causes progressive hepatic and muscular disease. Each type requires distinct management and has separate clinical trial pathways.

Before you apply
Things trial teams commonly ask about for Glycogen Storage Disease. Not eligibility rules; those are set by each study.
- Specify the exact GSD type — trials are type-specific; GSD I, III, V, VI are the most common subjects of active trials
- Fasting tolerance testing and continuous glucose monitoring data are standard baseline requirements for GSD I
- Muscle biopsy findings and creatine kinase levels are eligibility markers for muscle-type GSDs (GSD V, GSD III)
- GSD Ia versus Ib distinction matters — GSD Ib has neutropenia and may have different trial eligibility
