Generation of ZZUi008-A, a transgene-free, induced pluripotent stem cell line derived from chorionic villi cells of a fetus with Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Summary
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a common X-linked recessive disorder for which there is no present cure. In this paper, we reported the generation of ZZUi008-A, an induced pluripotent stem cell(iPSC) line derived from chorionic villus(CV) cells of a fetus with a deletion mutation in exon 33 of the dystrophin gene (DMD). The cell line was generated using feeder-free and virus-free conditions, and the established cell line retains the original DMD mutation, a normal karyotype, expresses pluripotency markers, able to differentiate into three lineages. This ZZUi008-A cell line could provide a promising tool to study this complex disease. Copyright © 2018. Published by Elsevier B.V.
