The Second Wind in McArdle Patients: Fitness Matters
A higher aerobic fitness and an active lifestyle are associated with a higher workload eliciting the so-called SW phenomenon in patients with McArdle disease, which has a positive impact on their exercise tolerance during daily living.

International patient group harnesses social media to help inform rare disease research: use of a low carbohydrate ketogenic diet in McArdle disease
To highlight the benefits of a partnership between patient advocacy organizations (PAO) and clinical researchers in order to clinically study the prior anecdotal patient experience of utilizing a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet (LCKD) to manage McArdle disease.

The potential of a ketogenic diet to minimize effects of the metabolic fault in glycogen storage disease V and VII
To explore the potential of a low carbohydrate ketogenic diet (LCKD) to counter physical activity intolerance, pain and muscle damage for glycogen storage disease (GSD) V and VII, and highlight the realistic possibility that nutrition could be key.

Natural history of McArdle disease: a single centre study of a cohort of 220 patients
In this study we extensively describe phenotypic and genotypic features of a large cohort of people with McArdle disease, all attending the Highly Specialized McArdle Disease and Related Disorders service at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, London.
INFOOur labor
About us - professionals
We are researchers in the field of neuromuscular disorders who investigate, at the clinical and research level, on glycogen storage disease type V (GSD V) (OMIM® number 232600), also known as McArdle Disease and other related ultra-rare muscle glycogenoses. We represent twenty institutes from across Europe, plus Turkey and the US, which make up the founding consortium of EUROMAC.

The aim of the project is to identify as many patients as possible across all European countries and to collect important clinical and epidemiological data. We hope to create the largest international cohort of people with such rare conditions.
INFOYou will receive news of EUROMAC’s work and reports of any studies and trials undertaken by partner institutes based on information from the registry.
