Office for Rare Conditions Registries

The Office for Rare Conditions Registries, is a University of Glasgow project, based at Child Health, which supports the development of registries for rare conditions.

Amongst its portfolio are the I-DSD/ I-CAH/ I-TS registries for people with conditions affecting sex development and maturation. The newly launched GloBE-Reg registry supports post authorisation studies for new therapies for bone and endocrine conditions. In addition, the Office works closely with the EURRECaEuRR-Bone projects which were initially developed in Child Health and are now led by the Department of Medicine at the Leiden University Medical Center.
