IGSD 2022 Call for Abstracts:

AGSD is pleased to announce the IGSD 2022 Conference will take place virtually on October 20-22, 2022, with Q&A sessions taking place the following week.

We welcome abstracts that communicate current research, case studies, educational tools, development of new services and clinics, and public policy efforts that are relevant to the diagnosis, management, and treatment of glycogen storage diseases.
• Abstracts describing original research and related-efforts relevant to glycogen storage diseases must be submitted in English.
• Abstracts submitted for presentation at the IGSD 2022 Conference will be reviewed and a select number of abstracts will be selected for a recorded oral presentation. Other accepted abstracts may be invited to give recorded poster presentations. For accepted abstracts, there will be a live, virtual Question & Answer session.
• Abstracts submitted after the stipulated deadline will not be considered. Authors are strongly advised to submit prior to the deadline. The copyright in the abstracts is retained by the authors; however, the authors give permission to the IGSD 2022 Conference organizing committee to publish the abstracts online as well as a publication of the choosing of the IGSD Steering Committee.

Abstract submission deadline: May 28, 2022

We will inform you if your abstract has been accepted for poster or oral presentation by June 15, 2022.

Abstract Preparation: Please format your submission as shown below and include all authors’ affiliations (Department, Institution, City, State/Province, Country).
