Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Blood sample taken at enrolment for gene panel for glycogen storage diseases, to determine whether there is an association between glycogen storage disease and glycogenic hepatopathy in a population with type 1 diabetes. Trial follow up will only be to inform patients the result of gene testing. Patients will receive ongoing clinical follow up for their glycogenic hepatopathy and type 1 diabetes irrespective of results of gene studies.

Statistical methods / analysis
This is a pilot study recruiting approximately 10 patients from the Mater and LCCH. Pathogenic variants for GSDs are well defined. If all the forms of GSD are combined, GSD frequency is estimated to occur in the general population at a frequency of less than 1:10000. This corresponds to a carrier frequency of less than 1:50. A likely pathogenic mutation predicts 95-99.9% chance that the mutation is causative. Thus there is a 20% chance that a pathogenic mutation would occur by chance in one of our ten patients. Thus far the literature on type 1 diabetes and carrier status for GSD presenting with glycogenic hepatopathy consists of a single case. 10 cases will add substantially to current knowledge, and will aid in guiding further research.
