Generation of a human induced pluripotent stem cell line (iPSC) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of a patient with a myasthenic syndrome due to mutation in COLQ

Summary

Congenital myasthenic syndromes (CMS) are a class of inherited disorders affecting the neuromuscular junction, a synapse whose activity is essential for movement. CMS with acetylcholinesterase (AChE) deficiency are caused by mutations in COLQ, a collagen that anchors AChE in the synapse. To study the pathophysiological mechanisms of the disease in human cells, we have generated iPSC from a patient's Peripheral Blood Mononuclear cells (PBMC) by reprogramming these cells using a non-integrative method using Sendai viruses bearing the four Yamanaka factors Oct3/4, Sox2, Klf4, and L-Myc.
