Establishment and characterization of an iPSC line from a 58 years old high grade patient with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (70% steatosis) with homozygous wildtype PNPLA3 genotype

Summary

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the hepatic manifestation of the metabolic syndrome and its prevalence increases continuously. Here, we reprogrammed fibroblasts of a high grade NAFLD patient with homozygous wildtype PNPLA3 genotype. We characterized the induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) by immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry, embryoid body formation, pluritest DNA-fingerprinting, and karyotype analysis.
