GSD Meeting on Type I, III, VI and IX for doctors and dietitians, Copenhagen, Denmark
The Scandinavian Association for Glycogen Storage Disease (SAGSD) provides support and help for individuals and families affected by hepatic (liver) types of Glycogen Storage Disease (GSD). We will help doctors, dietitians and patients establishing contact, providing information and holding conferences and meetings. The SAGSD has members from Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland, both children and adults are members. We represent all the liver types of GSD in our association.
Glycogen is a stored form of glucose, which is used as a fuel for energy. Glycogen Storage Disease or glycogenosis occurs when there is an absence or deficiency of an enzyme needed to produce or break down glycogen in the body. GSD primarily affects the liver and/or muscles.
The 5th SAGSD conference, May 9-10 2020
We expect about 60-80 participants with interest in GSD from all Scandinavian countries to join the SAGSD conference. The conference starts with a lunch Saturday May 9, lectures will be held in the afternoon and a dinner in the evening. On Sunday, there will be separate session for doctors/dietitians and patients/families in the morning and the conference ends after lunch Sunday May 10 2020.
