Abstract

Higher TyG index values are consistently linked to elevated risk of GSD. Given that TyG is inexpensive and routinely available, it may be useful for identifying individuals at a heightened risk of GSD. More longitudinal studies are needed to determine causation and to assess whether TyG-based screening can improve GSD risk prediction or prevention.
