Generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (CSSi017-A)(12862) from an ALS patient carrying a repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene
Summary
Genetic expansions of the hexanucleotide repeats (GGGGCC) in the C9orf72 gene appear in approximately 40% of patients with familial ALS and 7% of patients with sporadic ALS in the European population, making this mutation one of the most prevalent genetic mutations in ALS. Here, we generated a human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line from the dermal fibroblasts of a patient carrying a 56-repeat expansion in an ALS disease-causing allele of C9orf72. These iPSCs showed stable amplification in vitro with normal karyotype and high expression of pluripotent markers and differentiated spontaneously in vivo into three germ layers.
