The high rate of consanguineous marriages in Tunisian population provides an ideal environment to facilitate the identification of homozygous pathogenic mutations. We aimed to determine the clinical and genetic profiles of patients with GSD1b to evaluate SLC37A4 mutations spectrum in Tunisian patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      All exons and flanking intron regions of\n                      <jats:italic>SLC37A4<\/jats:italic>\n                      gene were screened by direct sequencing to identify mutations and polymorphisms in three unrelated families with GSD1b.
