We previously demonstrated that melanocytes obtained from normally pigmented vitiligo skin show cellular and molecular alterations characterized by constitutive activation of antioxidant enzymes 1 and defects in mitochondrial metabolism reflected in altered expression and activity of complex I, increased generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), low ATP production, and modified expression of some glycolytic enzymes 2
Next, 10 ng of each DNA mixture were tested by ddPCR using the appropriate combination of donor-specific and patient-specific reactions, selected in accordance with the screening results (Supplementary Fig
