This symposium aims to raise awareness around the world of McArdle disease and very rare muscle glycogenolitic disorders with exercise intolerance as major symptom  and to foster international collaborations involving researchers and clinicians. To do so we organized a masterclass to discuss from diagnosis, management, animals models and latest research in the field.
