New registry aims to unlock secrets of Ultra-Rare SPLIS disease
NCT ID NCT04885179
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study collects medical and genetic information from people with SPLIS, a rare condition caused by a faulty enzyme. Researchers will track survival and when kidney problems start. No treatments are given, but the registry may help future research.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could help doctors better understand SPLIS and improve future care for patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with no treatment, so it won't directly help participants. It may take years to gather enough data to draw meaningful conclusions.

Who is studied
SPLIS is a genetic disorder caused by recessive mutations in SGPL1. The study population includes individuals with confirmed bi-allelic mutations in SGPL1, regardless of age, gender, disease manifestations, or treatments received. Some patients with SPLIS will have kidney failure, adrenal insufficiency and/or neurological problems. Parents, family members and unrelated healthy individuals enrolled during routine health appointments, elective surgical procedures and other medical interactions will be included as healthy controls.
