Generation of induced pluripotent stem cell line (ZZUi0013-A) from a 65-year-old patient with a novel MEOX2 gene mutation in Alzheimer's disease
Summary
MEOX2 mutation has been reported as a potential cause of familial Alzheimer's disease. Recently, a novel MEOX2 mutation was identified in a family with Alzheimer's disease. The dermal fibroblasts of the patient were obtained and successfully transformed into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), employing episomal plasmids expressing OCT3/4, SOX2, KLF4, LIN28, and L-MYC. Our model may offer a good platform for further research on the pathomechanism, drug testing, and gene therapy of this disease. Copyright © 2019 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
