The Moroccan origin of their parents and grandparents was confirmed. We obtained informed consent for DNA analysis from the parents. We used a standard salting-out method to extract genomic DNA from 3 ml blood. We developed a real-time PCR (Applied Biosystems 7500 Fast Real-Time PCR Systems) assay by using TaqMan probes for the PEX1 c.3750G\u003eA (p.Trp1250∗) nonsense mutation (Table 2) and validated the assay by using homozygous and heterozygous members of family 1.","tracks":[]}
